How it’s Made
The traditional art of smoothing hair flat into strips on a piece of glass or marble is known as palette work. A small amount of archival adheisve and water is used temporarily as a stiffener. Once the strips are dried, they can be woven into a basket weave and shaped to fit a compartment under glass.

Durability & Care
The basket weave and knot more delicate designs that require the hair to be set under glass or fine gemstones, to ensure it will last for generations as a true heirloom.
Your keepsake should be worn gently, not during strenuous activities outdoors or in, to ensure moisture does not settle under the glass, which could lead to mold growth and damage over time.
