   Here's a story from a reader:   
   When my grandmother passed away in the 1980s, I was given many family   
   pictures.  Thankfully, my grandmother had written dates and names on the backs   
   of them all!  I also inherited a beautiful black pin, all set in gold.  The   
   most exciting part of this for me was to find a portrait postcard of my great   
   grandmother - and she's wearing the pin on her dress, right at the high neck!    
   I'm still not sure if it's jet, onyx, or any of the other possibilities. Maybe   
   some day I'll take it to a jeweler to find out but for me it was more   
   important to know who owned and wore this beautiful pin!
