Mourning brooches are decorative pins worn to commemorate the death of a loved one. Typically made from precious metals such as gold or silver, these brooches were often embellished with symbolic motifs such as a portrait of the loved one. One of the most distinctive and personal aspects of mourning brooches is the inclusion of hair, often intricately woven or curled beneath glass. This was not seen as morbid but as a tangible, enduring connection to the deceased.

This brooch includes embroidered initials woven into the hair with small pearl beads, demonstrating the high craftsmanship of this piece.
