Sterling Silver Whitby Jet and Marcasite Gothic Spider Necklace P2039C
The silver and Whitby Jet Gothic Spider necklace is a chilling design that will appeal to Whitby Goth lovers and those with a penchant for all things Whitby Jet. The design celebrates the smooth, glossy gemstone that has long been a symbol of North Yorkshire’s abstract coastline and combines the gemstone with marcasite stones. Admired for their metallic appearance, the marcasite stones in this captivating Whitby Jet necklace perfectly complement the mirror-like polish of the Whitby Jet used to form the spider’s body. The unusual shapes of the famous Whitby Jet stone are a testament to our highly talented goldsmiths and stone cutters here at C W Sellors, who work closely together to bring breathtakingly bold, dramatic designs like this Gothic Spider necklace to life.
Sterling Silver Whitby Jet Whitby Abbey Charm G984
Perfect for anyone who frequently visits Whitby for a staycation, this charm, fashioned from sterling silver will appeal to Whitby Goth fans or collectors of Whitby memorabilia. The surface of the silver has received a treatment that gives the charm an aged effect, while the intricate details of the stone building capture the charm and character of Whitby Abbey, set on a headland high over the popular seaside town. Whitby Abbey played a pivotal role in the history of Christianity, leading to the arrival of Bram Stoker’s Dracula character. The monastic ruins are now an iconic landmark for the village of Whitby, inspiring designers to create a special series of inspired creations for those who share our love of the village’s history.

The Whitby Abbey earrings are a stud design, securely fastening to the back of the ears with a classic post and butterfly mechanism. Crafted from sterling silver, the design features a flat disc of Whitby Jet adorned with an intricate hand-crafted glass window effect, symbolising the famous building that dominates the skyline of one of North Yorkshire’s most popular fishing villages.
Sterling Silver Whitby Jet Emma Stothard Silver Darling Whitby Jet Float Charm Necklace P3595
The Whitby Jet Float charm necklace is a design that combines our heritage with the renowned and highly talented British artist, Emma Stothard. Tipping its hat to Whitby’s fishing heritage, the charm showcases a meticulous level of craftsmanship, with examples of attention to detail that can be admired throughout. Crafted from sterling silver, the charm pays homage to Emma Stothard’s work on the life-sized works of art found on the Whitby Sculpture Trail and the Herring Girls – those tasked with preparing and packing freshly caught fish during the 19th and 20th centuries. With so many other Whitby-inspired charms featured throughout our collection, designs like the Silver Darling Float Charm, which features a circular piece of polished Whitby Jet as the float, are perfect for collecting and adding onto the charm’s 18-inch long chain.
