<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 872613, member: 2844&quot;]Please, please, please don&#039;t rub those links on an unglazed tile!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie66" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>This is not antique, not English made, and not jet, so there is no need to test for Whitby jet. I would strongly advise against it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the tapping test sounded like glass, glass is the most likely suspect. Please don&#039;t do anything that could cause a rough edge. Leave it as it is.</p><p>It is a gorgeous Italian made bracelet. My guess Post-Modern, which is why it has a slight Art Deco-ish look.</p><p><br /></p><p>Antique Whitby jet links, like on the one Jivvy posted, have slightly rounded edges to prevent chipping when metal links rub against them. The sheen of Whitby jet is different.</p><p>Whitby is a town on the English east coast, in Yorkshire. It is not in Italy. The only time you test for Whitby jet is when it looks like an English made piece of Whitby jewellery. This doesn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am now going to lie in a darkened room.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
