Interesting Whitby Jet and Sterling Silver Necklace Commission from Krish for his girlfriend Paige's birthday, of their houseboat barge, back in November. Carefully chosen piece of Whitby Jet, just of the right thickness to incorporate the natural surface detail of when the Jet formed 180 million years ago, no less.

A Note From The Past...
The boy in this photo (below) Christopher James Philpot, grew up to be the most amazing hobbyist Jet Worker and also the Father of my old Shepherd friend Robin (now 80). Chris carved and turned whale tooth ivory and Whitby Jet on an ornamental Holtzapfel lathe and made some really beautiful pieces, like this little box, penguin and owl below, just because he could. The raw piece of Jet chosen for Paige's pendant was part of Robin's Dad's collection. I think I've done it justice. Paige was over the moon.
