This exquisite Georgian-era mourning pendant, dating to around 1810, is a fine example of early 19th century sentimental jewellery. The front features a delicate portrait of a gentleman set against an intricate background of woven hairwork. Surrounding the image is a black enamel border bearing the poignant inscription in gold: “AFFECTION WEEPS HEAVEN REJOICES.” The enamel is accented with a laurel motif, symbolizing eternal life.

The reverse of the pendant houses meticulously woven hair, a deeply personal inclusion that served as a lasting keepsake of a departed loved one. At 40mm in diameter, the pendant is substantial, yet refined, and would have been treasured as both a token of mourning and a piece of personal devotion.

Mourning jewellery became highly fashionable in the late Georgian period, reflecting both societal customs surrounding bereavement and a deep sentimental attachment to loved ones. Hair work was especially popular, hair was believed to carry the essence of the individual, making it a tangible link to the deceased. This pendant survives as a touching and evocative relic of the Georgian age, encapsulating both the skill of its maker and the enduring love it was meant to convey.

Samsonite? I was way off!
Size: 8, Color: Light Blue, Size: 8, Color: Light Blue
Linen was a nice enough material and slightly distracted from the dumb&dumber blue motif. The regular suit material would have been a full homage. It is what he wanted so this was a fair compromise. Stats/ he is a size 8 in most brands, 51in and 60lbs. Purchased an 8. A size 7 would have been a better choice and more tailored look but this fit fine in the important places and he has room to grow. Short notice, quick shipping and fair quality for the price. May your Harry Dunne love it as much as mine did.
