Silver Niello
Is Niello (Silver + copper + lead + sulfur alloy) a conductor of electricity?
Any one know if this alloy (black in color) conducts electricity quite well?
Is there anyway i can make this alloy to not conduct electricity but remains the same in terms of look (aesthetic), as well as maintaining similar strenghts and hardness? For example composites or adding further elements to the alloying. No coating please.
Thx.
It will conduct electricity , quite well . . cause silver and copper are quite good conductors and so is lead. as far as i know if you add any more element to it, then it becomes a new metal alloy and its properties will vary from niello. so niello is what it is , cannot be altered..
but by altering the proportion in which the elements are added could make difference.
good luck!

Viking Jewelry – Bedecked in Antique Style
Jewelry enjoys a special place particularly among the women. If you are one of those with keen adoration for antique jewelry, Viking jewelry can be the right pick for you. This historical jewelry dates back to the era of 8th and 11th century in the European history. So many centuries have gone by but the charm of this antique jewelry is still very much there. Viking earrings, Viking necklaces and Viking bracelets have carved an irremovable niche in the antique jewelry market since ages. Museum Jewelry unveils a wide array of finest jewelry from the Viking era for you to choose from.
The antique jewelry pertaining to the Viking age is mostly made of gold, silver and brass. Every piece of jewelry displays excellent art and craftsmanship and reflects the heathen culture of the Vikings, with its many Gods and fable animals.
The ornaments in the Viking age clearly reflect their affiliation to the delicate, flat and very stylized ornaments of the Celts. The Vikings improvised on the Celtic designs and added heads and claws and made ornaments that are beautifully modeled and sculptured.
After the Christian possession of Scandinavia the heathen symbols were replaced by Christian symbols. Precious metals from Islamic caliphate, Germany, France and England started to get imported. This created an evolution of ideas, beliefs, technology and style and techniques such as casting, forging, filigree, granulation, cicely, niello, gold plating, glass and stone setting etc. that were learnt and adopted by the Vikings as well.
You can travel back in time to recall the timeless designs and rich histories that are carefully preserved in the museums around the world with the online shop for antique jewelry. Today, wearing an antique jewelry from Viking era is within the reach of any antique jewelry enthusiast.
The website of the antique jewelry vendor showcases an exquisite collection of fabulously crafted antique jewelry. Besides the antique jewelry you can also find trendy and classy necklaces, earrings, pendants and brooches of various cultures and traditions. A lot of effort and craftsmanship is put in to authentically reproduce original piece of jewelry. Semi-precious genuine stones and pearls are used to get the desired look and are mostly composed of base metal plated with 22 carat gold. Hand-finishing done to the jewelry gives it different colors and shades.
