This circa 1865 Victorian gold and crystal pin encloses both woven hair and an curled lock in memory of a loved one. The octagonal mounting measures 1 1/8" wide by 15"16 high. The cut-crystal top is free of scratches (the light curved line in center is a brown hair that is not nearly so evident in-person). This beveled top reveals the tightly woven background and the silky brown lock that rests upon it.

The gold frame doesn’t quite meet the 10K test so I believe it is 9K—it shows no sign of worn plating at the edges. It has an extended pin shaft which is clasped with a C-closure. There are a few very shallow indents and a darker spot on the back of the case only.
Such pieces were often made by women to give to loved ones as a way to say "keep me near" and could also be used as memorials of those who had passed. The size of this pin makes it ideal to be worn at a collar, on a lace scarf, or the lapel of a suit jacket.
