A Victorian black Whitby jet bracelet circa 1860

Whitby jet is a rare, fossilised wood gemstone found along the North Yorkshire coast in England. Formed from ancient Araucaria trees over millions of years, it is renowned for its deep black colour and smooth, glass-like finish when polished.

Highly prized during the Victorian era, jet was popular in mourning jewellery, especially by Queen Victoria.
