Take a look at the beautiful bracelet at the top of our latest Brontë blog; it’s one that was especially precious to Charlotte Brontë, and she wore it wherever she went, but what is it made of? At the centre is a sparkling amethyst but the strap around it is made of the intertwined hair of her dead sisters, Emily and Anne Brontë.
Read all of it: annebronte Nick Holland is talking about the color of the hair of the Brontes, about hairworkers, the people who crafted these objects and more very interesting things.
It's really beautiful. It reminds me of Celtic jewelry. It's unusual for Charlotte to indulge in something so ornate, but she allowed her love beauty to have its way when cherishing her sisters memory. It must of been a comfort , particularly in London. She was not alone.
