Shops

Whitby Jet Jewellery (Simpson's of Whitby) make a variety of jewellery in Whitby Jet and Silver. They are, of course, based in Whitby - you can visit their shop - and source their jet locally.

Black As Jet Jewellery is another on-line jewellery site which specializes in jet as well as amber. They source much of their jet from Whitby although they are based in East Sussex.

The Victorian Jet Works in Whitby is an 1897 jet works - a museum still a working craft shop.

Capricorn Creations makes a wonderful selection of Gothic and other jewellery in Jet, Amber, and Silver, as well as with other stones. Check out the "Gothica" section in particular!

And this is a little treat: "Edward Gorey's Dracula Toy Theatre"

It is a funny and acoustic type of a song for (English speaking) Vampire fans. If you like it you might want to tell your visitors about it by linking my homepage.
Thank you
