About Whitby Jet jewellery designs
Transformed over 180 million years, deposits of Jet have been found in many places around the world, such as North America, Spain, and Russia. The Jet found around the small seaside town of Whitby on the North Yorkshire coast of England, however, has always been considered the finest due to its stunning mirror-like shine and intense black colour once polished. During the Victorian era, Whitby Jet reached its height of popularity and was worn by Queen Victoria. Whitby Jet’s remarkable lightness in weight and warmth to the touch made it incredibly comfortable to wear.
Carved into many intricate designs and retaining its rich black colour, Whitby Jet became a complete overnight sensation. Its entrancing colour followed the styles of fashion, progressing from the simple, lightweight dresses of the Regency period to much fuller, darker and more elaborate dresses. Pleats and folds were easy to echo on the surface of this gemstone thanks to its lightweight qualities. Fast-forward to over a century and a half later and Whitby Jet has never been more popular. Our range of breathtaking designs both online and displayed at our W Hamond store, located in the picturesque fishing village of Whitby, showcase the lengths and breadths of our imaginative and dynamic approach to crafting unique Whitby Jet jewellery designs here at C W Sellors.
The symbol of love through unique jewellery designs
The heart shape is considered the universal symbol of love and makes for the perfect gift for someone special. Gifted mostly on Valentine’s Day and at Christmas, heart jewellery is expressed through precious gemstone jewellery designs, plain 18ct white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, silver and platinum jewellery designs, and timeless diamond jewellery designs too. The heart symbol, gifted as a token of love can be traced back to as early as the 13th century but was usually portrayed in an upside-down position until the 14th century. The heart emblem, however, was thought to have been most in vogue during the 19th century and followed the trends set once again by Queen Victoria. Therefore, the pair of Whitby Jet earrings we’re showing in this Countdown to Christmas Gift Ideas guide here at C W Sellors unites the styles and trends characterised by the Victorian era perfectly.
Our C W Sellors 18ct White Gold Whitby Jet Diamond Edge Heart Stud Earrings
Epitomizing femininity and timeless elegance, these stunning gemstone earrings from C W Sellors capture the simplicity of the classic heart symbol. Showcasing a stone sourced locally to our prestigious jewellery boutiques and extracted along the beautiful North Yorkshire coastline, pieces of Whitby Jet have been meticulously cut and carved into the iconic heart shape before being hand polished to enhance their deep and dramatic blackness.
These Whitby Jet earrings have been crafted from 18ct white gold, exuding a remarkably modern finish against the skin and lifting the contrasting shades between the metal and the gemstone perfectly. Each heart-shaped piece of Whitby Jet has been painstakingly set and positioned within a polished white gold rub-over setting for a contemporary execution against the ears. Surrounding each piece of black gemstone is a halo of round brilliant-cut diamonds (0.14ct). Each stone has been carefully chosen by our skilled diamond cutters for its clarity and colour and has been selected for its fire and brilliance. Forming a frame of light around the Whitby Jet gemstone, each scintillating diamond stone refracts the light beautifully, casting a full spectrum of colour as light penetrates its beautifully faceted edges.
Each of the round brilliant-cut diamonds incorporated into these unique white gold Whitby Jet and diamond stud earrings is held inside a timeless four-claw setting. The earrings secure to the back of the ears with a classic post and butterfly fastening, constituting a practical addition to any formal, smart or elegant attire. The earrings will make a beautiful Christmas gift idea for a loved one this year and come displayed inside a luxurious C W Sellors presentation box for completing the ultimate gifting experience this festive season.
