I never cease to marvel at Victorian mourning jewellery. I cannot imagine how these were made they are so intricate. Please zoom in on the photos and see how tiny the weave is. Amazing. This is a particularly detailed and fine example. This is a unique piece was handmade at some point around 1860s as a very personal memorabilia from a living person to his lover, husband or relative also alive; being ironical the fact that after some years or decades, this kind of hair art become a true testament and relic from deceased family members. The craftsmanship is perfect and astonishing. No loose hairs, held at each end with etched gold caps. Excellent overall condition, tiny highlight brassing to mounts, hardly any fraying. The toggle chain that allow to adjust length on the necklace is not original, maybe a replacement but looking quite new without wear
