Victorian Mourning Hair Watch Fob 10k Mourning Hair Mourning Hair Jewelry

This is an antique 10K yellow gold and hair Victorian memorial watch chain. The watch chain is made of dark brown braided and twisted hair. The hair is bound at three points with pieces of 10K gold. The gold is engraved with detailed designs of scrolls and leaves. The center gold piece also has a loop for hanging a watch or fob. The watch chain is not marked, but I have confirmed 10K gold by acid testing all of the pieces. Originally I thought this was gold filled or gold plated but it holds steady with 14K gold acid as shown. A local pawn shop told me it is 10k. 10k Mourning Hair Watch Fob 10k Mourning Hair Bracelet Mourning Hair Jewelry. Beautiful woven hair with no ripping or anything of the sort to note. Some minimal loose flyaways. Originally a watch fob but one could turn it into a wrapped coil bracelet for a small wrist or extend with some findings as a necklace or choker. Measurement Length, end to end: 13 3/8 inches Total Weight: 12 grams I tried to weigh just the gold pieces the best I could. By lightly weighing those pieces while holding the other sections up. I came up with 10 grams but I am going to approximately estimating this as 9 grams of 10K gold. As of 3/11/2024 10k gold has a value of $29.12 per gram.
