Welcome to Robert & Victoria.
Travel to the old town of Whitby, across the swing bridge and the first Whitby Jet shop you get to is Robert & Victoria at the start of Sandgate (so called because it leads to and borders the east sands). It is a bustling high street and a perfect place to showcase our selection of handcrafted Whitby Jet and Baltic amber jewellery.
Whilst in 2021 we celebrate 15 years in our current home, we are proud to be part of a wider jewellery family that specialise in the design and manufacture of British gemstones, here in North Yorkshire with Whitby Jet and from our Derbyshire workshop with Derbyshire Blue John (and where our jewellery business was established in 1979).
In Whitby, alongside R&V, our family of jewellers brings together Araucaria, C W Sellors, Whitby Jet Store and W Hamond (which includes the Museum of Whitby Jet and boutiques in Leeds and York) to offer the visitors of Whitby – and online - the most comprehensive selection of handcrafted Whitby Jet and gemstone jewellery. (All boutiques are listed below).
It is only through having several boutiques we can combine and showcase such a wide and diverse range of jewellery to our visitors, and whilst each shop carries their own distinct identity, collections and a selection of jewellery brands, you can purchase with confidence knowing that for all Whitby Jet designs only locally sourced material is used in our Whitby and Derbyshire workshops.
On arrival at Robert & Victoria you will be greeted by friendly and well-informed staff, who will be able to guide you through our selection of Whitby Jet jewellery and Baltic Amber – for which our boutique like to specialise in. Whether it’s the history of either gemstone, the processes from which they were made or advising on selecting that perfect gift, we are here to help. With our experienced workshop and design team to hand, we can also offer bespoke services, from a simple repair to producing an original piece of jewellery from your own sketches and imagination.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Robert & Victoria team directly should you have any specific questions regarding jewellery listed online, design requests or product enquires. We are available on email, phone and Facebook.
Whilst we adhere to all lockdown restrictions, we remain fully operational and our friendly and experienced team are on hand to help

View on mapOver the years, W Hamond has acquired an unrivaled collection of antique Whitby Jet including antique jewellery, ornaments and the world’s largest piece of Whitby Jet. Through the accumulation of such an impressive collection, it was decided that we would open our very own museum. The Museum of Whitby Jet was developed with the purpose to exhibit the jet-black stone and educate on its history and heritage.

W HAMOND - YORK
Our first outpost which opened in 2001, the W Hamond York store is nestled in the heart of York's most famous street, The Shambles. It seemed only right to make York W Hamond's second home when learning about the Roman excavations that took place in the area which unearthed several items of Whitby Jet. The ancient timbers and flagstone floor of the W Hamond York store make it a favourite with customers all over the world.
