The psychology, symbolism and cultural history of Jet.
In fashion, jet symbolizes elegance and sophistication, often worn during mourning in Victorian-era England. While it signifies power and authority in Western cultures, in some Eastern traditions, it is used in protective amulets against negative energies.
The term 'jet' derives from the Latin 'jettus', referring to the material from which it is made, lignite. This color gained prominence in the 19th century, particularly in the 1860s, when Queen Victoria popularized jet jewelry as a mourning symbol after the death of her husband, Prince Albert.
