Here's the catch...Leila's Hair Museum isn't the only museum with hair jewellery, we have some too!
Hurstville City Library, Museum & Gallery collection
This hair jewellery was donated to the LMG six years ago and is on display in our permanent exhibition Living on the Water's Edge: Stories of St George.
The jewellery is thought to have been made between 1860 - 1870. Made from woven human hair, hair jewellery was popular in the Victorian era with hair being used as a physcial reminder of a loved one.
