Antique Locket w/ Hair Inside

This antique locket has dark braided hair on both sides, inside the book and is a mourning piece. It is small, about a half inch, and is a stunning memorial piece.

Mourning jewelry dates back to the 16th century, and its popularity reached an all-time high during the Victorian era. Pieces were created or purchased to honor the death of a loved one and mourn their passing.

The True Story Collection is a personal collection of mine, @themoonincarolina . With a passion for beautiful antique jewels, I am always on the look out for unique pieces to wear. In order to continue feeding my habit, I must let go of those I have already enjoyed for a time and let another appreciate its magick. 🔮✨
