 About Hair Work Jewelry

Hair work jewelry was not only worn for mourning. Dating back in history, as far as the 1600s, hair work jewelry was fashionable. Jewelry like bracelets and chains were worn by both ladies and gentlemen as tokens of love. Hair work background under glass along with a person’s initials and other symbols were popular.

Napoleon wore a watch on a chain made with the hair of his wife, Empress Marie Louise. Queen Victoria gave jewelry made from her own hair to her close relatives as gifts.

Hair work jewelry like memorial / mourning rings, lockets and bracelets are sort after antiques that will fetch a pretty respectable price in today’s collectors market.

Today hair work jewelry making is a lost art! There are very few hair work jewelry makers out there since there are no formal schools to learn this trade from. Most of them are self-taught artists who spent countless hours learning through trial and error.

This Victorian era book preserved on CD ROM is a rare opportunity for today’s hair work artist to learn and create the pieces with the same techniques used by masters in the Victorian era!

A must-have for jewelers interested in making hair work mourning jewelry for today’s customers.

This precious book in PDF format shows how to create hair chains, rings and bracelets using numerous interesting and unique braiding techniques. It also include many line drawings of beautiful jewelry designs. There is also a section on how to make wigs.
