This rare 1870s Whitby jet hat pin is a striking example of Victorian mourning jewelry, featuring a deeply carved industrial scene on its domed top. Crafted from genuine Whitby jet—a fossilized wood prized for its lightweight feel and deep black luster—the pin captures the era’s fascination with both sentimentality and progress. The extra-long shaft was designed to secure the elaborate hats of the time, making this both a functional accessory and a conversation piece. A moody, elegant relic of 19th-century fashion and craftsmanship, perfect for collectors of jet or mourning-era adornment.
