Jet rounds in 6mm — genuine organic jet, the fossilized wood prized since Victorian mourning jewelry for its deep, flat black that absorbs light rather than reflecting it. If you work with dark palettes or want a natural black bead with real material history, this is the one.

True jet reads as an absolute, matte-to-satin black with no glassy shine — the color comes from the material itself, not a coating, so it stays consistent all the way through.

What to make with them

At 6mm these rounds are a natural fit for strung necklaces and bracelets where jet's lightweight nature keeps long pieces comfortable to wear; they also work well as spacers between heavier focal stones or as the primary bead in Gothic, Victorian-inspired, or root-chakra designs.

Description

Jet is one of only five organic (once living) gemstones recognized by the International Commission of Colored Gemstone (CIBJO), the other four are Ammolite, Amber, Pearl and Coral. Jet is a form of lignite coal, which is the result of high pressure decomposition of wood from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. It is similar in weight, warmth and feel to Amber, and was in fact, once believed to be Black Amber. Jet jewelry has been found dating as far back as 17,000 BC. It was popular in Roman times, in the Victorian era, as well as in the 1920's. Jet is attributed numerous healing and protective properties including protection from the evil eye and strengthening psychic awareness through the first chakra. Jet becomes electronically charged when rubbed against silk or wool, and smells of coal when touched with a burning hot needle.
