Beautiful Victorian Rare Carved Whitby Jet Bead Necklace & Bracelet. Here is a really beautiful victorian carved whitby jet necklace & bracelet. The necklace measures nearly twenty six inches all the way round and is all made of real whitby jet. The beads all gently graduate in size from just under half an inch in diameter to over threequarters of an inch in diameter and there are 20 beads. All of the beads are carved with half being carved which gives a faceted effect & the other beads are heavily carved with a lovely effect and they are hand knotted between each bead. Nicely the necklace comes complete with a matching bracelet measuring nine inches all the way round with beads all measuring half inch & under and there are 10 beads & all the beads are the same as the necklace. The necklace is origional to the victorian period around the 1880s when whitby jet and fabulous mourning jewellery was at its height, and as such some of the beads have nibbles and chips and scratch marks as you would expect with age and wear & two beads have large chips out of them, but it would be very easy to change the necklace to a longer necklace with the bracelet beads which may have origionally come off of the necklace & then you would lose these two damaged beads, but i certainly do not think it detracts, see pics. However this really is a beautiful victorian rare whitby jet necklace in good origional complete condition as stated which looks lovely worn.
