A deeply touching early Victorian mourning brooch, rich in personal history and sentiment.
Designed in classic locket form, this brooch features a central glazed compartment which still retains the original woven hair of the departed. Hairwork was an especially intimate element of mourning jewellery in the early Victorian era, serving as a tangible and deeply personal keepsake at a time when photography was still in its infancy. The brooch also features a loop attachment meaning it can also be worn as a pendant making it very wearable.
The reverse of the brooch is formed from a substantial 9 carat gold panel, hand engraved with the dedication: “Rv E King Jv C Slefser 1847.” Such inscriptions anchor the piece firmly in its historical moment, transforming it from an object of adornment into a recorded act of remembrance.
The simplicity and restraint of the design are entirely in keeping with early Victorian mourning aesthetics, where meaning and memory took precedence over ornamentation. It appears this may have been for a religious individual RV maybe referring to a reverend, another reason it maybe a more paired back design.
A moving and authentic mourning jewel from the mid 19th century, created to honour, remember, and hold close the memory of loved ones.

Best pillow I’ve ever tried—hands down!
Size: Queen, Number of Items: 2
I’ve gone through a bunch of pillows over the years, but this BETU Cooling Pillow is by far the best one I’ve ever used. I sleep in literally every position—on my back, stomach, and sides—and this pillow works perfectly no matter how I’m laying.
It really does have a cooling effect, which I love as a hot sleeper. Just make sure your room is cool too, and it makes a big difference. It came vacuum-packed, but it fully expanded within just a few hours. I was able to sleep on it the same day it arrived, and it was super comfy right from the start.
I also washed and dried the pillowcase before using it, and it came out looking and feeling great—no shrinking or damage at all. Honestly, I look forward to going to bed every night now just because of this pillow. It’s supportive, comfortable, and totally worth it!

Excellent pillows!
Size: Queen, Number of Items: 2
This pack came with 2 pillows, one firm and one that was flatter and squishy. I absolutely love the flatter one! Most comfortable pillow I've ever used! The firm one was a bit too much for me, but my husband loves it.

It’s alright.

Not bad pillows. They are comfortable but mine came with an odd odor, kind of mildewy smell to it. Had to spray it down to tolerate sleeping on it.

Nice pillows
Size: Queen, Number of Items: 2
Have had these a few months and so far really like them!
They don’t really feel very cooling, but I also run VERY HOT so it could just be me. The foam holds up well and hasn’t flattened like others I’ve tried.
They come very compacted- I was shocked how much they expanded!
