1800’s Victorian Mourning Braided Hair Jewelery Watch Chain and or Short Necklace
Victorian Mourning Jewelery is one of the more odd customs that have made it to dawn of modern times. The use of hair as a material to be used in Jewelry, memorial wreaths, and other keep sakes is always seen as odd to most people now. But once you think about it, the mourning art is a way to keep your loved ones with you.
Here is a great example and one that will be an addition to a collection.
A late 1800’s Victorian era Mourning Watch Chain or small necklace made out of braided hair.
The piece is 12” long, from what looks like a low karat gold ends, possible 10k. I have not seen a stop on the gold colored ends.
The hair is braided in a box braid, but through the years the braid has worn thin in some areas. I have photographed these areas to show that the chain in not broken but has worn thin.
