I believe this is a late 1800s vulcanite necklace. Didn't do a burn test but Helen Muller's book on Jet Jewellery shows similar chain links made from vulcanite.

Very nice. I've never seen these before. Thanks (no text) --- Carl Dreibelbis ( 2011-01-27 18:38 )
It is very shiny for Vulcanite. I would test it. (no text) --- Beadman ( 2011-01-28 00:28 )

  - Yes. Jet has characteristic flaws and breaks that imitations do not. (no text) --- Beadman ( 2011-01-28 13:27 )
