A dramatic work of antique artistry, this Victorian-era Whitby Jet necklace captures the soul of 19th-century design with its bold silhouette and exquisitely carved details. The rich, glossy black of genuine Whitby Jet—formed from fossilized ancient wood unique to the English coast—reveals its signature beauty in the interplay of polished and hand-carved surfaces.
 
The necklace showcases alternating smooth, domed Jet ovals and deeply carved medallions, each one sculpted with remarkable Victorian precision. Their natural shading shifts subtly under light, moving from inky midnight to soft charcoal—an effect unique to authentic Jet. A finely carved pendant drop in a geometric floral motif adds dramatic length and a touch of Gothic romance, completing the piece with unmistakable period style.

Once cherished as a symbol of remembrance, Whitby Jet is now highly collected for its rarity and distinctive craftsmanship. This necklace exemplifies that legacy: bold, sculptural, and undeniably elegant.
