Antique Art Deco Whitby Jet bead necklace

About the Item

A beautiful antique very early 1920s Whitby Jet bead necklace. It is made up from meticulously hand carved, faceted jet beads, polished to a very high shine which gives a wonderful shine and shimmer on movement. Craftsmen were incredibly skilled in giving ordinarily matte materials such as jet or steel a wonderful twinkle, like diamonds in low light. Whitby Jet is a highly prized material amongst collectors today and is made from fossilised wood dating as far back as the jurrasic era. It's rich inky Black hue making it a popular choice for mourning jewellery. The necklace fastens with a brass screw fastener. Condition: Good used condition overall, some light surface wear and scratches commensurate with age and use, a little tarnish to the brass fastener. Approx measurements: 19.25" total length 9.mm bead Any questions or queries please contact us. FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING.
