Commissioned woven-hair keepsake jewelry
A meaningful lock of hair becomes an intricately woven, crystal-covered keepsake.
Margaret Cross / Modern Mourning
Margaret Cross, also known through Love & Loss and Modern Mourning, creates jewelry incorporating client-supplied hair woven beneath hand-cut crystal. Her custom examples include material from spouses and other loved ones, with traditional metalwork securing the piece. Separate offerings include sculptural spider-web bands and a signet explicitly designed as a combined engagement and wedding ring.
Current location note / listed area: Brooklyn, New York studio; commissioned jewelry, not mobile event entertainment
This is a made-to-order keepsake, not onsite wedding hairwork. The explicit wedding claim concerns her ring collection, not a promised live activation. Confirm commission capacity, consent for supplied material, hair suitability and quantity, custody/shipping arrangements, design and lead time. All related artist brands are consolidated.
