[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4400102, member: 2844"]I have a few similar pieces myself, and yes, they were sewn on clothing. They would be taken off when a piece of clothing was worn, and sewn on the next. Very useful in times of mourning, when it was often forbidden to wear jewellery. We get them here in Brabant on 19th century regional costume items, and they are not cheap. I must confess, I never tested mine to see if they were jet.:shame: I'll dig them up now.[/QUOTE]
