VICTORIAN Whitby jet chain with jet cross
VICTORIAN Whitby jet chain with jet cross and original clasp, 18" long with links from 3/4" down to 5/8", cross 2-1/4”. Note that this rare chain is jet, not vulcanite, and what amazing workmanship! The cross has really tiny fleabites at some edges, but the chain is as near perfect as can be on an item this age. Flea bites are typical of jet of this age and these are barely noticeable, just mentioned for accuracy.
This very special piece is from the personal jet collection of Katy and Helen
Muller, authors of the books on jet jewellery. I am so very privileged to
have it and other pieces from their private collections. It is guaranteed to be genuine and all original Victorian Whitby jet. Their books "Jet Jewellery &
Ornaments" and "Whitby Jet" are the best books written on the subject.
