Faceted French Jet Necklace with Sterling Silver Fixings

Why we chose it: A beautifully preserved example of late-Victorian style, this faceted French jet necklace has that classic deep shine and dramatic sparkle collectors love. The individually knotted beads give it an elegant drape and secure structure, making it a versatile piece that complements everything from casual everyday wear to more formal outfits. French jet — a high-quality black glass designed to imitate true jet — was prized during the Victorian era for its deep glossy finish and striking light reflection, and this necklace shows exactly why it was so beloved.
