Under the Restoration, hair jewelry began to come into fashion with the Romanticism movement. Charles Lemonnier, jeweler and hair designer to Empress Eugenie, is famous for making such jewelry, sometimes as a token of love, sometimes as a memento of mourning.
This fashion continued until the end of the 19th century. The Bibliothèque nationale de France, for example, holds a work by Marcellin, Album illustré de dessinsen cheveux, published in 1888.
