why was lignite used as a jewellery item? It thought it's pretty common... And is it more known today as 'jet'? Because i've always known it as 'lignite' or 'brown coal'...
Is this the source of the expression "jet black"? Cctoide 11:58, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I have been told that is where the expression comes from. I went to school for metalsmithing and jewelry and I learned this in my history of ornamentation class. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.179.220.63 ( talk) 01:38, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

"Damselfly" is a misreading of German Dasselfliege, meaning " botfly". See images of botfly-larva jet-carving at Venus figures from Petersfels. MagistraMundi ( talk) 08:53, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
Jet is not a type of lignite. Jet is a drift wood fragment incorporated in sediments which is compacted and impregnated by bitumen during diagenesis. Jet occurs in oil shale formations. Jet is not visible on the first picture. This picture shows a piece of oil shale with clearly visible stratification.22.11.2016. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.2.216.181 ( talk) 15:15, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

The term for the style of early jet necklaces is apparently spacer-plate necklace
©Geni ( talk) 19:47, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
I can't find a source for this and a passing mention of 20s fashion in a history of whitby jet says they weren't able to capitalise on the fashion for black jewellery suggesting any such necklaces would have been made of other materials. ©Geni ( talk) 12:21, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
In the United States, long necklaces of jet beads were popular during the Roaring Twenties, when women and young flappers would wear strands of jet beads stretching from the neckline to the waistline. In these necklaces, the jet was strung using heavy cotton thread; small knots were made on either side of each bead to keep the beads spaced evenly, much in the same way that fine pearl necklaces are made.
Sarah Caldwell Steele who is doing a PHd at durham is apparently working on a new method of identifying whitey jet. Need to check back in a few years to see how that went.
