Jet Jewellery and Ornaments

Chronicles the history of jet as a jewel in Great Britain and the rest of Europe from Bronze Age to the present day. It discusses the geology and origin of Jet and describes its chemical and physical properties. Jet is particularly associated with Whitby in North Yorkshire, and the author gives an account of the flourishing Whitby jet industry of the nineteenth century. The illustrations include unique photographs of the craftsmen at work. An important section on the imitations of jet and their identification will be of great interest and value to both the collector and dealer. The work of modern jet carvers is also described. The author and her husband have been researching the Whitby jet industry for many years. They give lectures and write articles on jewellery, however the Whitby jet industry is their main interest.
