We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

To preserve these delicate items, avoid exposure to moisture, perfumes, and harsh chemicals, and store them securely in padded jewellery boxes away from direct sunlight.

These historical accessories can be worn as statement pendants on contemporary chains or displayed within glass shadow boxes and curio cabinets as historical artefacts.

Authentic pieces often feature hand-woven hair under bevelled glass, hand-engraved metalwork, and traditional fasteners or findings consistent with nineteenth-century manufacturing techniques.

These pieces typically utilised yellow metals, rolled gold, or gold plating, combined with glass or rock crystal fronts to protect intricate arrangements of human hair inside.

Hair lockets and mourning jewellery gained immense popularity during the Georgian and Victorian eras, serving as deeply personal tokens of remembrance, sentiment, and affection for loved ones.
