[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 939587, member: 2844"]Not obvious to me.:sorry: Turquoise is not generally a stone used for mourning. If the hair is human hair, I would call it commemorative, made to remember a loved one who was alive at the time. If the hair was originally woven into forget-me-not petals, it would certainly be commemorative. Maybe a lover's gift. Hair is not always from deceased relatives. It could be from a lover, or a lock of hair from a child kept close to the heart. The hair used to make woven hair jewellery often came from women who sold their hair for money.[/QUOTE]
