<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 268424, member: 2844&quot;]It is probably best to have it tested for gold, just to be sure. If it is pinchbeck, here is some info:</p><p><a href="http://www.jewelryexpert.com/articles/Pinchbeck.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.jewelryexpert.com/articles/Pinchbeck.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.jewelryexpert.com/articles/Pinchbeck.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Halfway down this page is something about hair jewellery:</p><p><a href="http://www.hairwork.com/remember.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.hairwork.com/remember.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.hairwork.com/remember.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As evelyb said, it could be mourning jewellery, but it could also have been a memento of someone who was still alive. Just like some people nowadays keep a lock of hair of a loved one.</p><p>In many countries gold was considered to happy a colour for mourning, they would wear silver jewellery.</p><p>The box chain is more recent than the pendant, but that doesn&#039;t matter if you want to keep it as a family heirloom. It fits, and the pendant is pretty enough to wear today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
