Hair jewelry, very much in vogue in the 19th century, was made from braided or woven human hair. They took the form of bracelets, necklaces, brooches or medallions, often set in gold or brass. Initially used as mourning jewelry to preserve a memento of the deceased, they also became tokens of friendship or love. Their manufacture required great dexterity and craftsmanship. These jewels, both intimate and symbolic, reflect an era when sentiment and memory were expressed through the object.
