These watch chains were hung on vests (hence the name "vest chain" in French) and on the buttonholes of these gentlemen to wear a pocket watch.
The use of hair as a material in jewelry was made throughout the 19th century. It is a material that does not fade with time.
Watch chains were the most popular sentimental hair jewelry: even Napoleon wore a chain made from the hair of Empress Marie-Louise.
