I do not think it is Caucasian. Turkish, more likely. Or Persian. Even North Indians ( Afghanis included) have niello as a decorative medium.
BTW, famous contemporary Circassian jeweller/knifemaker Asya Eutych claims to be of Greek origin and swears that niello was introduced to the Caucasus by the Greeks. |
