At its centre is an oval glazed locket compartment, still preserving the original woven hair beneath crystal. Hair work was among the most cherished forms of memorial jewellery during the Georgian era, providing a tangible connection to a loved one and transforming jewellery into something deeply personal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe band itself has a pleasing graduated profile, broadening gently towards the front. Alternating sections of rich black enamel and warm 9 carat gold create a striking contrast.
