In fact, many people made their own mourning jewelry at home using materials like hair, ribbon, and beads. Instructions for creating mourning jewelry were often included in popular women’s magazines, such as Godey’s Lady’s Book and Peterson’s Magazine. Well preserved copies of these magazines reveal some of the popular designs and the methods of making mourning jewelry. While few extant examples of these homemade ornaments exist due to their more fragile nature, the varied levels of craftsmanship can be seen in some museums and private collections."
