Victorian Whitby Jet 'Smiling' Snake Bracelet
A super-lovely Whitby Jet ‘smiley’ snake expanding bracelet.
The snake’s body is crafted from faceted Jet elongated beads, while its head and tail are carved from faceted Jet with striking geometric styling—making this serpent wonderfully eye-catching. The snake’s little face even appears to be smiling!
The bracelet is strung on spring elastic, making it practical and comfortable for most wrist sizes.
Whitby Jet rose to popularity during Queen Victoria’s reign, when she embraced it in mourning after the loss of Prince Albert. Its deep black tone soon became fashionable beyond mourning culture, evolving into a beloved Victorian jewellery staple. Sourced from fossilised wood found along the Yorkshire coastline, authentic Whitby Jet is now cherished for its rarity and heritage.
I love the rich intensity of Jet—and this piece is absolutely a statement. A small work of jewellery art ready to wrap your wrist.
