| Abstract: | Abstract. During the middle nineteenth century, jet obtained from Whitby (England) was sought after due to its
dark black color and hardness. This fossilized plant material was used in mourning jewelry, and Whitby hard jet
was regarded among the best for carving and bead making. Jet fashion was connected with Queen Victoria, whose
long mourning period lasted for almost forty years. |
