Chronicles
the history of jet as a jewel in Great Britain and the rest of Europe
from Bronze Age to the present day. It discusses the geology and origin
of Jet and describes its chemical and physical properties. Jet is
particularly associated with Whitby in North Yorkshire, and the author
gives an account of the flourishing Whitby jet industry of the
nineteenth century. The illustrations include unique photographs of the
craftsmen at work. An important section on the imitations of jet and
their identification will be of great interest and value to both the
collector and dealer. The work of modern jet carvers is also described.
The author and her husband have been researching the Whitby jet industry
for many years. They give lectures and write articles on jewellery,
however the Whitby jet industry is their main interest. Price: £4.99 + £1.25 p&p U. K. (Ref: b0106)
