About the Artist
Gina Iacovelli is the creative force behind Mementos Entwined, a custom jewelry studio dedicated to honoring the profound nature of love while acknowledging the brevity of life.
Drawing inspiration from the sentimental and mourning traditions of the 18th and 19th centuries, Iacovelli has spent the past decade researching and practicing the nearly forgotten art of weaving delicate strands of human hair into wearable keepsakes, becoming one of the leading contemporary practitioners of this historic craft. Each intricate braid she creates carries forward the techniques, care, and devotion practiced by Victorian-era hairworkers.
Recently, her expertise in hairwork designs has led to a special collection of bespoke lockets, rings, and bracelets in collaboration with a skilled metal artist, Brenda Zak.
Her mission is to illuminate the beauty and emotions encapsulated within these jewelry pieces and reintroduce them in contemporary fashion.
