Preserve your loved one’s or beloved pet’s DNA by commissioning a unique piece of the Modern Memorial Hair Jewelry at Artisurn.com.

Hair is at once the most delicate and durable. It is perfect to be incorporated into an elegant family heirloom in the form of a pendant or bracelet to be cherished for generations.

Hair, a symbol of life, has been associated with honoring loved ones in many cultures. Egyptian tomb paintings portray scenes showing pharaohs and queens exchanging hair balls as tokens of enduring love. In Mexico, Indian women kept hair combings in a special jar, which was buried with their bodies so that the soul would not become tired looking for missing parts and delay its passage to the other world.

During the Civil War as the soldiers left home to join the fight, they would leave a lock of hair with their families. Upon the soldier’s passing, the hair was often made into a piece of mourning jewelry or placed in a lock

Artisurn.com ‘s exquisite memorial hair jewelry will bring you joy and comfort.
