These exquisite antique Victorian earrings feature hand-carved Whitby jet, each showcasing a finely detailed black pendant hanging from a diamond-shaped, engraved top with a silver shepherd’s hook. Made from genuine Whitby jet—not glass—they are lightweight and comfortable to wear. Originally worn as mourning jewelry in the 1800s, these elegant chandelier earrings now serve as a refined addition to any modern wardrobe. Celebrated by Queen Victoria for her mourning ensembles, Whitby jet is a fossilized gemstone formed from ancient wood under intense pressure, prized today for its rarity and historical significance.
