story with the rest of our readers.

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!
