A truly moving Georgian pendant, beautifully capturing the sentiment and romance that make mourning jewellery from this period so compelling.

Created in the form of a scallop shell, the pendant has a wonderfully sculptural feel. The shell motif itself is rich in symbolism, long associated with pilgrimage and journeys and the passage from one life to the next. Its elegant fluted form creates a jewel that is both beautiful and deeply meaningful.

What makes this piece especially enchanting is its hidden secret. The shell opens from the top to reveal a concealed locket compartment within. Protected beneath the original glazed panel is a carefully braided lock of hair, preserved with remarkable integrity despite the passing of more than two centuries.

Hairwork was among the most intimate forms of sentimental jewellery. Unlike a portrait or inscription, it was a physical part of the person being remembered, creating a tangible connection between loved ones that endured long after death.

There is something incredibly touching about opening the shell and discovering this hidden memorial. You can not help but wonder about the individual whose hair remains inside, or the person who carried this treasured keepsake close to their heart. The lock of hair remains almost perfectly preserved, a silent testament to a love that was considered too precious to forget.

THESE
Special Size: 19" Capri without Pockets, Size: X-Small, Color: Navy
I love these leggings! Purchased Navy seriously I have had a gazillion brands, styles types, ie. flare, etc. over my legging years of which there are many. These are the best so far. Perfect for ME. I am 112lbs. 5'1" so not 'normal human size' as my kids say. The small is perfect. Hits 'capri' length on my smaller frame a little longer for me so yay for that too. These are super good quality and I am picky about leggings. They are better than Costco WHAT? Yes they are. **NOTE: These do NOT have a phone pocket which I was also looking for. I am over phone pockets for now. These you could dress up for a night out. Buying every color. The price point is low-so were my expectations. But VOILA! These were a super surprise. Happiness is my Amazon delivery human.

Nice leggings......but
Special Size: 19" Capri without Pockets, Size: Small, Color: Taupe
So, I bought two pairs on sale....one in navy and the other in taupe. Both pairs have a streak mark on the same side, same exact area. I'm on the fence about returning them but I did get them on sale and if the mark doesn't come out in the wash, I can't really wear the in public unless I wear something long to cover the upper thigh area. They fit great and are very comfortable but then there is that unsightly mark. For reference, I am just under 5'0, 105 lbs and bought size small. I will have a think about it the next few days about returning them...or not.
