Inspiration for pieces explained: Antique Shamrock Necklace

        

I was heavily into Jet at one point, trading on eBay quite a lot. In two separate auctions these were included, and I was entranced by the delicate carving. They are actually bog-oak, oak that was found in bog that has been preserved from many years before, and carved by the Victorians.

It's not been an easy decision to sell these, as I know I won't find them again! Because they are genuine one-offs, I couldn't hope to create earrings, and the delicacy of them meant there was no possibility of creating a bracelet. Although I found them in different lots, I decided that they should stay together, and realising that the double-shamrock had double holes that would easily take a chain the design grew from that. 

Other products of my obsession with Jet includes: http://www.jewellerydragon.com/B22009.htm, http://www.jewellerydragon.com/N22009.htm and http://www.jewellerydragon.com/E22006.htm.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Victorian Jet Carved Earrings

         

I adore Victorian Whitby Jet, and these are such a wonderful shape! Probably from a necklace, I found these beads in a lot several years ago, and after much debate decided that they needed to be earrings. Lovely!

Dark Night Necklace    

   

I love jet, and wanted to do something special with these pieces. 
Although they are oddments, taken from Victorian jewellery, I think they work very well in this necklace.
