The Romans used jet for rings, hair embellishment, pendants and other forms of jewelry. Although found in jewellery since ancient times, it wasn’t until 1861 that jet became fashionable as mourning jewelry, when Queen Victoria began wearing it after the death of her husband, Prince Albert. It grew in popularity worn in remembrance of a dearly departed family member or friend.
