Jet jewelry has been crafted since ancient Greek times and gained popularity in Europe during the reign of Louis XIV. However, it wasn't until the Victorian era (1837-1901), when Queen Victoria herself wore it, that designers began to frequently incorporate jet into their creations. In the 18th century, when Switzerland prohibited the public display of diamonds, jet, along with cut steel, emerged as an alternative. Following Prince Albert's death in 1861, Queen Victoria entered a period of mourning, requiring the entire court to wear black and avoid ostentatious jewelry. Jet became widely favored as a modest substitute for precious stones among the aristocracy. Jet possesses its own historical significance. After all, this lustrous gemstone has adorned numerous royals, from Cleopatra to Queen Victoria. Understated yet beautiful, jet jewelry is a must-have for any collection. Emotionally, jet is believed to protect against negativity, encourage introspection, enhance self-confidence, reduce burnout, and inspire artistic creativity.

In ancient times, humans recognized the value of silver. Like gold, silver is a precious metal with a long history of use, spanning over 4,000 years. Due to its unique and excellent properties, silver has held both monetary and decorative value. Silver's silvery-white hue, with its soft yet bright luster, has made it a favored adornment among minority groups, Buddhists, and Muslims. Recently, influenced by a resurgence of vintage aesthetics, Westerners have been wearing sterling silver jewelry inlaid with semi-precious stones, which tend to oxidize and darken, evoking a sense of wonder for ancient civilizations.
