9ct Yellow Gold Whitby Jet Octagon Shaped Cufflinks
One of our most popular gemstones, Whitby Jet is sourced directly from the cliffs of the North Yorkshire town of the same name and handcrafted in our workshops in Ashbourne, Derbyshire. The colour of Whitby Jet is truly unique, boasting a deep blackness so intense that the expression ‘jet black’ or ‘as black as jet’ derives from the colour of the stone. It has a smooth and very lightweight appeal making it an excellent choice for jewellery, especially men’s cufflinks. These Whitby Jet cufflinks feature two pieces of the gemstone carved into an octagon shape, polished and cabochon set into 9ct yellow gold. For easy fastening onto a suit cuff, the cufflinks are equipped with sturdy tilting T-bar fastenings also in 9ct yellow gold.
