Hair jewelry — lockets, rings and other such items adorned with the locks of a loved one — is said to have come into fashion as an expression of mourning in the Victorian age. It was Queen Victoria herself who popularized the jewelry after her husband Albert died in 1861. @Allure's Kara McGrath writes about the history of this, how the craft of hairwork is being revived around the world, and why people continue to be repulsed by it.
