Taille d'épargne is sometimes referred to as black enamel tracery.

Taille d'épargne is a form of champlevé​, an enameling technique where opaque enamel is used to fill low-relief etchings in metal.

Taille d'épargne was popular during the 1850s, in mass-produced Birmingham pieces.  The style remained popular through the 1860s as American jewelers imitated the technique.
