I have heard of that before, a while ago – and somewhere (not sure where) saw some on display. It’s very interesting and those photographs are truly great. Very nice and a super item to share for hanging!

Some of these comments are downright funny! Yeah, what else was an 1800s woman to do, bereft of craft shops? LOL!

People did weird things with hair back then. After someone died, they clipped a lock of hair and tucked it in a necklace or brooch, or ring. Someone in Alexander Hamilton’s family has a ring with his hair in it.

Thanks for your comments!

Very interesting, never would guess at first glance that they are entirely made of hair.
