A woven remembranceSourced
That bracelet may be made from hair
Mourning jewellery became especially popular in the nineteenth century. Some pieces incorporated a deceased person’s hair, alongside other forms such as black stones or engraved names. A keepsake could be made from part of the person it commemorated.
Memory could become something woven and worn.
