Where is the importance of a preserved memory of a loved one today and what is the contemporary translation of it ?

Promise of happiness - Promise of memory

Hair jewelry was made as a sentimental way to remember a loved one during Victorian period. A lock of hair was the only physical memento one could keep at the burial of a loved one. It was also a reminder of mortality to the mourner.
