A Gemstone Steeped in History
Whitby Jet boasts a rich history, prized for centuries for its quality, beauty and deep black luster.

Jet's popularity soared during the Victorian era, becoming a mourning stone favored by Queen Victoria herself after the death of Prince Albert. Today, Whitby Jet remains a coveted gem, sought after for its timeless elegance and connection to the region's fascinating past.
