    The Details...

    This chic cuff is constructed from Whitby Jet. It features highly polished and accurately shaped curved sections of Whitby Jet, which are threaded together onto black elastic to form a cuff. The internal diameter of the cuff is 5.75cm, making the internal circumference 18.06cm. However, because the cuff is elasticated this circumference can be expanded.

    A Short History...

    Black jewellery was popularised from 1861 by Queen Victoria, who, after the death of her beloved Prince Albert, insisted on only wearing black. People wanted to emulate the style of their Queen. This meant that jewellery made from Whitby Jet - the fossilised black wood of the Monkey Puzzle tree - became immensely fashionable. It could be found along the North Yorkshire coastline, which Whitby nestles in the middle of, and requires the work of highly skilled lapidaries to be polished and formed into jewels. Whitby Jet's rarity and the talent required to create pieces from it made it both costly and coveted. 

    Wear it With...

    Jet looks fabulous worn with white t-shirts. The polished and sleek design of this piece would work particularly well with crisp white tones.

    The jewellery within the Gemma Redmond Vintage collection has survived to this day because it has been well cared for throughout its lifetime. It is important to continue to care for the jewellery that you buy from us to ensure its continued preservation. Here are some suggestions:

    - Be sure to store your jewellery within the boxes that we provide to ensure that it is protected. This is especially important when travelling with your pieces.

    - Try not to get perfume or hairspray on your items. These liquids can damage the materials that our jewellery is made from.

    - Try not to drop your jewellery or catch your jewellery against hard surfaces. If this happens over time, the findings and fixings can loosen and wear.

    - Try not to get your jewellery wet. Some costume jewellery manufacturers utilised water soluble glue in the making of their pieces. Getting your jewellery wet could cause rhinestones and other details to fall away over time.

    - If you wish to clean your jewellery, use a soft polishing cloth or a soft brush.
