These beautiful antique Victorian earrings are crafted from hand-carved Whitby jet—lightweight, glossy, and wonderfully detailed. Each earring measures about 2¼ inches long, with an ornately carved black pendant that sways from a diamond-impressed button top, finished with sterling silver screw backs. They’re authentic Whitby jet (not glass), so they’re surprisingly light and very easy to wear.
Once worn as mourning jewelry in the 1800s, these chandelier-style earrings feel striking and stylish for today’s wardrobe—full of history yet effortlessly chic. Jet itself is an organic gemstone formed from fossilized wood, and Whitby jet is especially prized and highly collectible. A truly special pair for anyone who loves meaningful Victorian pieces.
