Completely in love with my new Whitby Jet pentacle necklace! A very stunning piece which I appreciate the work that has gone into. It was lovely to be able to speak to the lady who actually crafted it and see where she actually makes the jewellery. So refreshing to be able to walk into a shop and know where every part of an item has come from and…. It’s English ! When not much is made in our own country any more it’s so important we support these traders and craftsmen / craftswomen and you won’t be disappointed.

A wonderful traditional jet manufacturer in the heart of Whitby’s East side. All the jet is polished on the premises.

Absolutely amazing shop! First we got customised earrings made when they weren't in stock, and later, when we had trouble with one of the earrings, Vicky helped us out at no expense to us. The jet earrings from The Black Pearl remain my wife's absolute favourites. Could not reccomend this shop enough.

Beautifull shop. We bought a pair of stud earrings for both of our daughters who are thrilled with them, they are beautifully made, we will definitely be buying more, for presents.
