Before affordable portrait photography was developed, carrying a lock of hair was one of the most common ways of keeping the physical memory of a loved one close. Most hair jewelry was made by professional hair-weavers and\/or jewelers for memorial purposes, but hair jewelry was also frequently given as a love token. This Victorian bracelet falls into the love token category. The bracelet is composed of exquisitely braided dark hair with engraved gold fittings and clasp, and a padlock locket holding grey hair (presumably from a different individual).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMATERIALS: 14k gold (tests), hair, glass lens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAGE: c. 1850\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION: Very good - padlock once opened but was soldered closed at some point in time\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIZE: 6 3\/4\" length, 3\/8\" width of braided hair band\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51570052563226,"sku":"B513","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0156\/5502\/files\/B513-1.jpg?v=1768431457","url":"https:\/\/checkout.ericaweiner.com\/products\/mid-victorian-braided-hair-padlock-bracelet","provider":"Erica Weiner LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
