Hair in mourning brooch and bracelet

Victorian mourning pin, with an original braid of hair, featured under glass in the center of the pin. 
The beveled glass is framed with a black enamel border, highlighted with scrolling curves. 
The back of the pin has been engraved with in script E. B. In Memory of a Dear Friend.
This child's size bracelet is expertly woven from human hair in memory of a departed loved one. 
A padlock shape locket protects and displays the same.

Both items are for sale at Lang Antique and Estate Jewelry.
