  1. That is a hair brooch owned by Queen Victoria. I'm assuming the hair in it is Albert's. I'm further assuming that it was post-mortem hair. Ick.

  3. lol it matches the descrption of a brooch in George Meredeith's book Rhoda Fleming, but that's a bit too farfetched. I have no idea...

  4. It is very close to the description of the brooch in 'Rhoda Fleming' Carmel, excellent detective work. lol But no, it isn't that brooch. Adela is close. But, such post-mortem keepsakes were very common even in pre-Victorian times.
