The locket is made of glass and metal, with a delicate gold-toned finish. The piece measures 60 cm in length and 2.4 cm in diameter, making it a stylish yet understated accessory. The piece is representative of jewelry design from the 19th century.
Comments
In the 19th century, jewellery fashioned of gold and human hair was highly valued for its personal character. A note accompanying this necklace states that the hair in it belonged to H.M.A.F. Teding van Berkhout-van Slingeland and to her youngest child, Ferdinand, who died in 1854. The family relied on the services of a leading professional hair worker.
