Welcome to The Ebor Jetworks , the home of Whitby Jet research and Whitby Jet information. All our jewellery is handmade in our C17th premises in Whitby’s historic eastside from the finest locally collected Whitby Jet. Sarah, the founder of our business, is a qualified geologist, senior accredited gemmologist and Doctoral researcher based at Durham University. Her ongoing research is challenging not only our perceptions of Whitby Jet as a gemstone but also as a material of significant cultural importance to the community that works it as a way of life, an occupation with routes in the Neolithic in the Whitby area.
“The romance of the Yorkshire Coast began in the early morning of earth’s long day. Everything we see around us bears the impress of innumerable yesterdays”
The prologue to history is not written in books. It is inscribed upon the rocks and hidden in the dark earth.
Every age is an age of wonders. There is always something which appears to be beyond the ken of mortal men.
The brilliant noonday of the year reveals enchantment everywhere along the Yorkshire Coast.
There were giants in those days, and long ago the simple folk of this district believed in all manner of wonders and miracles.
