These stunning antique Victorian earrings showcase hand-carved Whitby jet drops gracefully hanging from 9K gold tops and hooks. Each black torpedo-shaped earring is meticulously carved with a captivating leaf motif, crafted from genuine jet, not glass, offering lightness and comfort. Originally designed as mourning chandelier pierced earrings, they now add timeless elegance to modern ensembles. Elevated by Queen Victoria, who popularized Whitby Jet in her mourning jewelry, this gemstone—formed from fossilized wood subjected to intense pressure—is treasured worldwide for its unique organic origin and rarity.
