Hair jewelry — lockets, rings and other such items adorned with the locks of a loved one — is said to have come into fashion as an expression of mourning in the Victorian age. It was Queen Victoria herself who popularized the jewelry after her husband Albert died in 1861. @Allure's Alexis Benveniste writes about the history of this, how the craft of hairwork is being revived around the world, and why people continue to be repulsed by it.
I made a thing 😊 A medal for myself based on a Bronze Age Minoan seal. Original CMS IV 257, found in Malia. Dated LM I-II (so... roughly 3500 years old). It was red jasper so I used a red background. I think it's a crane, though the original publication just said "bird" 😅
Here's the thing, I'm not an artist or anything. But I love Minoan seal designs, and I think it is a travesty they're not more popular in souvenir terms, so I decided to get crafty 😄
