Mid-Victorian 18ct Gold Snake & Hair Locket Tie Pin feed-agegroup-adult structured yet softA beautifully detailed Victorian serpent coiled around a tiny oval hair locket. A symbol of eternal love, loyalty, and remembrance. Hair jewellery in the 19th century wasnt only for mourning; it was often exchanged as an intimate token between lovers, friends, and family. The woven hair can be professionally removed or replaced by a jeweller if desired. As always, all Parkin & Gerrish tie pins come with a secure stopper.
