Abstract

Mourning jewelry with hair enjoyed enormous popularity in eighteenth-century Europe. The special qualities of hair as a medium for remembrance lies in its metonymic condition and its narrative implications: its cut ends refer to the absent body. The forming and framing of hair in mourning jewels both reflects and produces tensions between presence and absence, and between showing and hiding.
