VICTORIAN WHITBY JET FUCHSIA EARRINGS

A delightful pair of Victorian Whitby Jet earrings in the shape of Fuchsia drops.

The Jet has been carved beautifully to mimic the pendulous lantern petals, with an inverted pyramid of jet dangling below to represent the stamens.

Fitted with the original 9ct gold plated shepherds hooks.

The striking black of the Jet and the beautiful organ shape of the Fuchsias, make a fantastic impact when worn.

Whitby jet is mined in Whitby Yorkshire. England 

It is formed from fossilised wood of the Monkey Puzzle trees that grew over 150 million years ago.

Whitby Jet is prized for its intense black colour, and lustrous shine that is achieved by polishing it. Whitby Jet also light which makes it perfect for the use in jewellery
