Using  techniques  from the 1700  and  1800's this  jewelry  is  fashioned  from  a  lock  of your  loved one's hair into the design of your choice.   The "hair art" is worked on a piece of mother-of-pearl and then placed into a solid sterling silver pendant with a glass dome.  The pendants have the versatility of being worn as either a  necklace or a brooch.    They feature both a pin with a safety clasp and a loop for a chain on the back.  These solid sterling pendants can also be ordered with a 24k gold vermeil.

"Hair Jewelry" was made as a sentimental way to remember a loved one during Victorian times.  This jewelry is made using the "cutwork" or "palette work" technique and results in a piece of "wearable art".

Very little hair is needed, a small lock is sufficient to make any of the styles shown.  The "Prince of Wales" style needs slightly longer  (at least 2-1/2")  and  more hair to design, and the "Basket Weave" also needs slightly more hair than some of the others.
