Part of the tradition of sentimental mourning jewelry, it features finely braided brown hair carefully set within a gold band. This tradition of hairwork was extremely popular in the 19th century and could be used to commemorate a deceased love one or were exchanged within families or relationships as a memento of those far away. This example is especially stunning featuring a 9k gold shield set with a flower (possibly a forget-me-not) and flanked by two hearts it suggests it may have been a romantic token. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 6 3\/4 US \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: Band measures 4.7 mm in diameter. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 2 grams\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: In very good antique condition.
