Round Jet beads, 8mm diameter on 16-inch lightweight strands
Jet is a variety of coal formed from fossilized wood and has been considered an organic gem along coral, pearl, and amber. Unlike plastic imitations, jet can be somewhat brittle.
The use of jet for jewelry dates back to Neolithic times in Britain and ancient Romans thought it had magical properties, but became most popular as mourning jewelry in Victorian era England.
