These antique Whitby jet earrings with new silver hooks are a lightweight and elegant choice for pierced ears. Each earring is hand-carved from genuine Whitby jet, an organic gemstone formed from fossilised wood over millions of years. The softly twisted design showcases the natural high-gloss finish of jet, offering both movement and depth. Recently restored for modern wear, these have been fitted with new sterling silver hooks by a local artisan, blending antique craftsmanship with updated comfort and security.

Why we love these earrings

They’re easy to wear but rich with history. The carved spiral design gives a subtle nod to Victorian mourning jewellery, yet feels completely wearable for today. We love how these move delicately when worn, catching the light without ever feeling heavy. The fresh silver hooks also make them ideal for regular wear.

How to style them

These earrings suit everything from a black dress to a crisp white blouse. Their deep black tone works beautifully as a contrast to soft neutrals or bold prints. Try styling with swept-back hair to show off their movement or with other antique or jet pieces for a layered, collected look.
