Tokens of Love, Regard, and Loss: Looking at Hair Jewelry in the DAR Museum Collection
Jan 14, 2025. 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Well before its heyday in the middle of the 19th century, incorporating hair into jewelry was a way to remember loved ones both in life and after death. Through the examples in the collection of the DAR Museum we’ll examine the history and symbolism of this once quite common type of adornment.
