Find Out MoreIf you need to know what direction you are going in at any point in the day then this bracelet is for you! It was made circa 1880. It has a compass that has been carefully set in the centre. Then carved jet segments that have been threaded on to elastic so it is comfortable to wear. The black mineraloid jet, the compressed remains of ancestors of the monkey-puzzle tree, is found in the cliffs and on the moors around Whitby and has been used since the Bronze Age to make beads. The Romans are known to have mined it in the area. In Victorian times jet was made into decorative items. It was at the peak of its popularity in the mid-19th century when it was favoured for mourning jewellery by Queen Victoria after the death of Prince Albert. This is a rare survival of jet jewellery.
