Whitby jet is a fossilised wood that gained immense popularity during the Victorian era, particularly following the death of Prince Albert in 1861, when Queen Victoria popularised long periods of mourning attire.

Authentic pieces are crafted from hard fossilised wood mined in Whitby, Yorkshire, hand-carved with geometric or floral motifs, and typically mounted on gold or gilt metal hooks.

Genuine jet is lightweight to the touch, feels warm rather than cold against the skin, leaves a brown streak when rubbed unglazed porcelain, and produces an electrostatic charge when rubbed with a cloth.

Historic pieces add character and a unique focal point when contrasted against minimalist modern clothing or paired with tailored evening wear.

Jet is a relatively soft material that can be easily scratched; it should be stored separately in a soft pouch, kept away from harsh chemicals and perfumes, and cleaned only with a dry or very slightly damp microfibre cloth.
