As a gemstone, it is soft and light, making it easy to process, and it has been used in jewelry since ancient times. Polishing creates a unique, soft, and deep luster. In Europe and America, jet black is used to describe this deep black color. ●When Queen Victoria of Great Britain lost her husband, Prince Albert, and observed a long period of mourning that lasted more than 10 years, she wore jet jewelry, which led to jet being recognized as formal mourning jewelry. Since the Meiji era, it has been adopted by the Japanese Imperial Family as one of their official mourning jewelry pieces, and it is also becoming increasingly popular in black formal wear in general within Japan. Because the gemstones are lightweight, they are popular because they don't strain the neck when worn as a necklace. ＜Precautions for handling jets＞ Jet is a soft gemstone, so please wipe it gently with a dry, soft cloth.
