Araucaria Jet
Araucaria Jet makes handcrafted jewellery from Whitby Jet, the black fossilised wood found on the North Yorkshire coast. The brand dates from 2001 and is a trading name of C W Sellors Limited. In January 2026 the parent company entered administration and online orders were suspended. Check the website for the current position before trying to buy.
About Araucaria Jet
The jewellery
Every piece centres on Whitby Jet, prized for its deep black shine and very light weight. The range includes rings, pendants and necklaces, earrings and bracelets, all made by hand. The shop states that its jet is genuine and sourced locally. That makes the brand a natural stop for jewellery with a real link to the Yorkshire coast. It also suits a gift with some local history behind it.
Where to buy for now
After the administration, customers were directed to the group's shops instead of the website. These include C.W. Sellors branches in Ashbourne, Bakewell, Shrewsbury and Matlock, and W Hamond shops in York and Whitby. The Whitby shop is at 156 Church Street and opens daily from 9am to 5.30pm. Before travelling or ordering, call +44 (0)1335 346561 to confirm what is available. Email enquiries go to [email protected].
Delivery and returns
When orders are being taken, the business delivers within the UK and abroad. Returns apply to unworn items, and the shop asks customers to get in touch first. Visa, Mastercard and PayPal are the listed payment methods.
