The fascination of Black jewellery dates back to the Bronze Age. In those times black jewellery was manufactured from jet, acquired from fossilised wood of the Araucaria species. These can be found in large numbers in UK, USA, France, Germany and Spain. Deposits from the tree are greatly dependent on the levels of trace elements like aluminium, sulphur and silicon. However these may vary in quality from one region to another. Whitby in North Yorkshire was stated to have huge deposits of the trace element aluminium, due to which the jet that was produced in that place was of extremely high quality.

The colour of jet is similar to the colour black which can be polished extensively to acquire an enriched colour quality less prone to fading with time. In fact, during the medieval period, the colour of jet was extremely intense which could even reflect images. Hence were used extensively as mirrors in those times. The material lacks durability and can be easily incorporated to be used in creating various structures. Its surface is however subjected to getting damaged from scratches.

During the reign of Queen Victoria, jet was highly popular and was even the Whitby jet worn by the Queen was inclusive in her mourning ensemble. In the 19th century, the jet found immense popularity as a mourning dress which was entirely due to its modesty and elegance. In fact, it has been now produced as rosaries for monks and priests.
Even during 1920, better known as the Roaring Twenties, long necklaces composed of jet beads were extremely popular with women and flappers adorning these over their attire. The beaded necklaces would be long and occurred in multiple strands, worn from the neck and reached down till the waistline. The beads were threaded into a necklace by using strong cotton threads with even stringer knots on each end. The method resembles the manner similar to how fine pearl necklaces are crafted. Jet is also popularly known as black amber since it has a property to disperse electricity like that of amber on rubbing.

At present, Jet has lost its popularity in the fashion industry. However, those who have a hobby of collecting authentic jewellery, still value these jet jewels. Jet is warm on the surface, unlike black glass which much cooler. This is due to the fact that jet is lesser conductor of thermal energy. Fine jet however finds its properties superficially similar to Anthracite (hard coal) and vulcanite (hardened rubber) and for long been used as imitations.
