Queen Victoria's prolonged mourning for her husband, Prince Albert, had a huge impact on mourning customs. She wore black clothing and mourning jewelry for the rest of her life, inspiring many of her subjects to do the same. Hair jewelry was a popular choice for mourning jewelry because the Victorians believed hair contained the essence of a person and symbolized immortality.
