<p>[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 707780, member: 649"]I'm interested in acquiring a Whitby jet cameo and believe it's likely that some/many sellers may misidentify their items. I have a small Whitby jet mourning pin, have read up on the subject via google, and feel somewhat confident that I can identify WJ when it's in hand. Any hints on how to identify it and distinguish it from other similar materials simply from photos? Is that even possible? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie66" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> (It's my understanding that "French" jet is a glass?)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
