Jet is a form of hard coal which has been used as jewellery for centuries. Due to its softness, it could be carved and shaped easily. However, this means it is much less durable than a gemstone of mineral origin. Jet will feel warmer on the skin and due to its softness, often does not polish to quite as high a gloss finish as some of the harder alternatives. Jet was very popular in Victorian times when Queen Victoria wore it as mourning jewellery after the death of Prince Albert
