Antique Victorian Mourning Hair Bracelet Circa 1850

Details

A fascinating Antique Victorian mourning bracelet from the mid 19th Century made up of four strands of finely plaited brown hair which is then twisted together to form a beautiful, thick band. 

Mourning jewellery was worn in remembrance of a deceased loved one and sometimes contained the hair of a loved one so that a piece of them was always kept close to the wearer.

A unique piece of history. It has been lovingly preserved and is in good condition for its age.
