And these designers aren’t using just any old jet — they’re purposefully picking Whitby jet, which is widely considered the gold standard of jewelry-ready jet.
And “Whitby jet is definitely in the running for the best jet in the world,” explained Steele, who also co-owns Ebor Jetworks, an historic jet workshop and retail shop in the town.
Whitby jet is renowned for being pitch-black in color and tough in temperament.
Generally speaking, Whitby jet won’t crack or fade over time, like less hearty, no-name jets are wont to do.
“There’s not enough jet out there and you can’t buy big pieces of jet” said Steele.
