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.

Super Comfortable and Soft
Color: White, Size: Throw Size - 50" X 60"
Feels luxurious and silky soft! It is not very thick but does keep me very warm. In fact I have to kick my legs out sometimes when I’m using it. It does shed A LOT! Will need to update after washing to see if that reduces the shedding. But it is beautiful and comfy. Is give it a 7 out of 10 for quality because of the shedding and the top and underneath pieces are only secured on the edges, which makes it move around and I have to grab the edges and shake to get its form back to normal. I would definitely purchase again. Especially if the shedding reduces it goes away after I run it through a wash cycle. I do NOT recommend drying in the dryer. It will mat I can almost guarantee that. Almost all blankets like these do if you dry them in a dryer with heat. Maybe no heat tumble might work, but NO heat.

Cute soft and cuddly
So soft, cute and cuddly. The quality of softness and materials used are amazing. It’s light weight and fluffy but not thin. The size is perfect for cuddling. Not small sized. Gifted this to my mother for her birthday. She loves it says it’s so soft on her skin. Don’t imagine I would have an issue with washing or drying. Price was awesome and definitely would purchase again.
