This lovely watch fob chain is made of my grandmother's hair and was given to my grandfather during their first year of marriage. I can't imagine a more personal style of jewelry than one made from the locks of a loved one. What ever happened to the lost art of human hair jewelry?

A Woman's Hair is Her Crowning Glory, And it Makes Good Bling Too!

A very unusual piece! The cutting of the hair was traditional. Was giving a gift made from it a tradition too?
ReplyDeleteI've not heard of gifting one's hair being a tradition in Poland. Actually, I've not heard of hair jewelry in connection with Poland at all. I'm guessing it was an American thing.
ReplyDeleteGood question! Thanks for asking, Apple.
