Using techniques from the 1700 and 1800's these buttons are fashioned from a lock of your loved one's hair into the design of your choice.
"Hair Art" is made by using special glue and laying the hair flat closely together onto a thinly sliced pearl background. The hair is then cut into shapes which are formed into flowers and petals. Tiny seed pearls are applied to make a added finish.
"Hair Art" was made as a sentimental way to remember a loved one during the Victorian times. These pieces are heirlooms to be passed from generation to generation.
Very little hair is needed, a small lock is sufficient to make any of the styles shown below.
These solid sterling pendants can be ordered with a gold vermeil and there is room on the back for an inscription to be engraved if you wish.
Sterling Silver $300.00 Gold Vermeil $325.00 Sample Buttons $225.00
*Family Bouquet additional $10.00 per person over 5 people per pendant.
There is also an additional charge of $25.00 for engrving of names and dates if you wish them
to
be placed on the back of each button.
