These earrings are made of Whitby jet, an organic material, a lightweight gemstone found on the beaches of Whitby in England. Jet was highly sought after at the time and remains expensive today. It was widely used in jewelry during the reign of Queen Victoria, who wore it as part of her mourning attire after the death of Prince Albert. Since then, jet has been associated with mourning and became very fashionable in Europe.
Jet is a type of lignite: it is not a mineral, but rather a mineraloid. It comes from wood transformed under extreme pressure.
