This hair pendant is a lovely example from the Victorian era. The hair work is an intricate weave that draws the eye with it's unique texture. It's rare to find a mourning piece with hair in such excellent condition, especially when the hair-work is so detailed. The spiral details on the gold setting are also an excellent touch!

Dimensions: 4.5 cm L(incl. bail) x 2.2 cm W
Materials: Pinchbeck, Brown Leather, Glass and Hair

Condition: Good antique condition. The pendant was possibly originally backed in glass, the leather presently there may be a replacement. As part of the nature of leather, there is little to no protection offered against moisture, so this piece should be worn with some care.
