Threaded with the customary  elastic, it will fit any normal size wrist. Jet has the ability to make a dramatic statement and always looks best in larger pieces. Jet was not intended for ‘pretty’. Hand carved Whitby jet from Whitby England is becoming rare. During Queen Victoria’s mourning period following Prince Albert’s death she wore Whitby jet.  This bracelet consists of large  fancy oval shapes  pieces in the front measuring 4.0 by 2.0cm and  graduation smaller at the back to 2.0 by 1.0cm.  All backs are smooth, with little jet beads separate the plaques to allow for articulation.
