1855 Hairwork Bracelet

Share this article with...

Hairwork bracelets are more common in sentimental and mourning jewellery. As much as the clasp or gold work in a bracelet, the hair itself is important.

As a memento, entire families could have different hair woven into the band. Clasps differ greatly with these pieces, everything from early pieces having miniatures portraits to photography and more hairwork. In the above example, there are seven initials from the family members and with the hair in the band and inside the glass compartment, each individual is represented.
