Impossible to photograph and way nicer in person: an 1840s locket with an unusual blue glass insert and a curl of blonde hair (decorated with pearls!) There are two totally separate compartments, so you have options here:
1. leave the hair in as a relic and add your own pic in the back locket.
2. remove the hair and dispose of it reverently (we often put it in the dirt under a tree). Now you have two spaces to fill with personal mementos.
