The Whitby Jet Choker
Frances found this gorgeous antique bronze lace on one of her antique jaunts. Falling in love with its design and quality, the team have reworked the lace into this show-stopping choker. Adorned with an original Victorian Whitby Jet cross, draping chain & black mourning crystals.
Please note: The lace is over 100 years old & some imperfections may be seen.
What is Whitby Jet?
Whitby Jet is a semi precious organic gemstone formed over millions of years from the fossilised remains of the modern day Monkey Puzzle, and similar trees. It is smooth and lightweight and can be polished to a deep black lustre that could be used as a mirror. The term 'jet black' meaning as dark a black as possible derives from the black colour of Whitby Jet. Good quality hard Whitby Jet will not crack or fade over time unlike some inferior types of jet available throughout the world. Most gems are formed from minerals, however a handful of gems such as Whitby Jet are organic and formed from animals or plant life. Other organic gemstones include amber, coral and pearl.
