Carved Whitby Jet Pendant

358E
644 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

This is part of a set that I bought. There is a bangle and brooch to match which are listed in the appropriate sections. This is an attractive and wearable piece. Jet is fossilised wood that was dug up and commercialised in the Victorian period to fuel the demand for mourning jewellery. After Queen Victoria lost her husband prince Albert, the whole nation went in to mourning hence the Whitby folk found themselves enjoying a business boom with their carved jet pieces.
