This pocket watch chain is made up of hair which was common place in Victorian England where mourning jewellery was fashionable and also as a memento mori of a loved one.

The chain has two strands of woven hair with metal end and dog clips and is joined in the centre with curb links and a T bar. The chain measures 390mm in length from end to end x 5mm wide and is in 80% mint condition – no damage, just a very dull metal colour on all the links and attachments
