What is jet jewelry made out of?
1 Answer
Jet jewelry is made of lignite, a form of coal. It is a mineraloid rather than a mineral and has a matte black appearance. Jet was commonly used for jewelry and buttons, some examples dating back as far as the Bronze Age, until the availability of colored plastic made it lose popularity in the early 20th century.
