Jewelry like this ring was a profound expression of grief, remembrance, and enduring affection. Each strand of hair, carefully woven and preserved, represented an intimate and personal connection to the deceased, offering comfort to the wearer.

This particular ring, crafted in genuine 14K gold and with its striking turquoise surround, would have been a cherished piece.
