    Description

    WOW - This exquisite brooch is JUST A PRETTY PIECE!  The HAIR ART Mourning Broach has multiples hair types from blond to dark brown with all but one braided so tiny!  The entire inside wall of the brooch is a piece of braided hair that follows the interior and then winds through the middle!!
    The metal is heavy and quite sturdy, not a light weight cheap piece. The pin and hook as well as the hinge are in good shape and hold very well.  See pictures for amazing detail this piece has!
    A very nice large piece of history......
    Hair is a symbol of life, and consequently death, in many cultures. Upon the passing of her beloved Prince Albert, Queen Victorian  popularized wearing of hair jewelry for mourning. The fashion ended at the turn of the 20th Century with the death of Queen Victoria.
