SPACE AGE SCIENCE REVIVES TRADITIONAL HAIR MEMORIALS

The traditional practice of remembering a loved one with a lock of hair has been brought right up to date by a new process which turns the hair into a unique piece of jewellery.

The process fixes the lock of hair in a hard, clear polymer, which is then used to create the centrepiece of an item of jewellery.

Sentimental Connections managing director, Nick Cranham says: “This is a breakthrough in using space-age polymer technology to revive an ages-old tradition.

“Until now, there has been no way of fixing the hair in an easy-to-manage and attractive material. You can’t fix it in molten glass – because it would burn the hair.

“Our specially formulated polymer is the ideal material. It is clear, sets to a jewel-like finish and it lets the hair’s natural colour and character shine through.”

“People are looking for unique and very personal memorials to their loved ones and using a lock of hair as a memento is a practice dating back centuries.

“Now thanks to 21st century technology we can offer jewellery which brings this well-loved practice up to date.

“Our new jewellery presents a very convenient and attractive way to keep the memorial locks with you at all times.
