Portion of a Victorian hair wreath. This is probably the most beautiful wreath I’ve ever seen and I’ve been collecting forever. If only I had the money you would find a home in my collection! Hair jewelry is such a beautiful art.

The museum I volunteer at has a hair wreath similar to this but each section has a small marker with a number. On the side is a list of names that correspond to each letter.
