Art Deco (1915-1935) Whitby Jet Flower Necklace【Graduation Gift】Christmas Gift Box

Whitby jet jewelry has been crafted since the time of Ancient Greece and was popular in Europe during the reign of Louis XIV. However, it wasn't until the Victorian era (1837-1901) that designers began to frequently use whitby jet, especially after Queen Victoria herself wore it. In the 18th century, when Switzerland prohibited the public display of diamonds, whitby jet, along with cut steel, became an alternative. Following the death of Prince Albert in 1861, Queen Victoria entered a period of mourning, requiring the entire court to wear black and avoid ostentatious jewelry. Whitby jet then gained popularity as a modest substitute for the aristocracy. Whitby jet possesses its own historical significance. After all, this lustrous gem has adorned numerous royals, from Cleopatra to Queen Victoria. Whitby jet jewelry, with its understated beauty, is a must-have in any collection. Emotionally, whitby jet is believed to protect you from negativity, encourage introspection and boost self-confidence, reduce burnout, and inspire artistic creativity.
