Сохранились броши, заколки, медальоны, шкатулочки, браслеты, где изображены только глаза, часто с ними соседствует локон или плетенка из волос любимого человека, часто ребенка или родственника, не только возлюбленного. На браслетах и медальонах иногда встречается и несколько миниатюр, тогда мемориальные украшения были в большой моде. Многие 'глаза' были в паре с портретами или миниатюрами целиком, в музеях такие пары сохранились.

Close up of pearls and hair.

Для меня было шоком в какой-то степени узнать, что из волос массово плели венки и помещали их в рамку под стекло- как семейные фотографии, в память об умерших членах семьи и располагали эти дела на почетном месте в гостиной, рядом иногда помещали рамочку с генеалогическим древом семьи. Для нас эти вещи кажутся странными, манера выставления напоказ волос, пусть даже красиво сплетенных, как-то не уклададывается в нынешние понятия об украшениях.

Circular / oval styles became more common in slides during the late 17th Century and into the early 18th Century. The depictions underneath the crystal grow more sophisticated as they evolved, but the sentiment remained the same. Note the evolution of the skull between this time and this ring from 1745. Behind the gold cypher and skull and crossbones memento is a layer of hair and silk, which this picture displays very well.

Hairwork bracelets are more common in sentimental and mourning jewellery. As much as the clasp or goldwork in a bracelet, the hair itself is important. As a memento, entire families could have different hair woven into the band.

---------------Композиции из волос------------------
Такие венки существуют в большом количестве, их делали из волос семьи, как своеобразное генеалогическое древо, так и других коллективов- школы или церковной общины. Вершина не была соединена и оставалась открытой, чтобы символизировать восхождение ввысь.
Из волос покойника делали цветок и присоединяли его к венку.
Обычно волосы в центре венка принадлежали к самому последнему члену семьи покойника; они оставались, пока другой член семьи не умер, затем его волосы перемещали в сторону, чтобы освободить место для для волос недавно умершего.

Wreaths can be an exceptional symbol of love from the family unit, often constructed with the hair of the entire family. The simple nature of the weaves and the size of the pieces make them memorials that could be constructed at home, much the same as a sampler. They can relate to being a form of folk art, as they are culture specific and each is unique to its own family.
Another perfect example of French hair art and a wonderful companion piece to the 1851 artwork above. To be noted is the continuity between the two pieces and how the traditional methods of hairworking had not changed, but rather simplifed.
