Description: | Glass Bead. Glossy opaque black sub-spherical bead with aperture of diameter 3.2mm. The unblemished surface, regular form and small aperture suggest a recent date. Jewellery of jet, and its less costly mass-produced imitations in black glass, became particularly popular in fashionable emulation of Queen Victoria's prolonged mourning for her Prince Consort, Albert, who died in 1861. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1860-1900.Diameter: 11.6mm, Thickness; 9.6mm, Weight: 1.83gms.
