Pendant

Those wishing to include hairwork in jewelry and portrait miniatures had many options, from simple loose locks to elaborate braids. This large pendant features two varieties of woven hair, one with a wide basket weave and another with an angled weave forming diamond shapes. On top of the woven hair are small hair bows, adding depth and intricacy. The ornate frame shows a stylized grape vine, with smooth sections on the front that could be inscribed.
