Antiques Roadshow viewers were left disgusted after one of the guest's brought some unusual jewellery onto the show.
A woman brought three items along to be valued by the experts - a mourning ring, a brooch and a bracelet that contained human hair, reports Daily Star.
Unusual pieces of jewellery like this commemorate the life of someone who has passed and often bears the name and date of death of the person, and sometimes even a picture of them.
But BBC Two viewers were only concerned that the bracelet contained a lock of somebody's hair, with many rushing to Twitter to comment on it.

One said: "Hair from the dead, no thanks. #AntiquesRoadshow"
Another said: "Hair of the dead. I think I could make a series @netflix would be interested in #antiquesroadshow"
A third commented: "I’m not sure there could be anything guaranteed to give me the boak (vomit) more than the idea of wearing jewellery made from a loved one’s hair."
Speaking to the jewellery expert on the BBC show, the guest explained: "I saw a ring on the internet, which I didn't know what it was, but I thought it anyway for £5.99 I got it home and I found out that it was a mourning ring."
The expert then took a look at the brooch decorated with an eye, which he believed to be a mourning jewel too at first glance.
He said: "It's possible that this is the look of somebody beyond the grave but I rather suspect that this could be a love jewel and then the other thing is that it's surrounded by pearls which do come into mourning jewellery, but in fact, they're more often associated with love jewellery because they're born of the shell-like Venus herself.
"If it is a love jewel, then mourning jewels of love beyond the grave were from a time when photography was almost non-existent. So there was a sort of terror of not remembering people because even remembering their faces, so the next way of doing it is to actually take part of them, which is to take the hair."
The camera then zoomed in on the bracelet, revealing a lock of somebody's hair in the centre.
The woman then interjected: "That's how I actually started to collect because the hair survives death. It doesn't rot, though. So it's quite an intricate task to actually get that plaited like that."
He then continued: "And frankly it's quite macabre, isn't it? It doesn't really sit in with modern times, and nobody necessarily wants to touch the hair of the dead but that's exactly what we're doing.
"So the interesting thing about this concept taking hair from the dead and reworking it into jewellery is a very, very ancient one indeed. And then it cascades all the way down to the 19th century and then suddenly, everybody thinks it's absolutely repellent."
But unfortunately, the guest's hopes to cash in for her items was burst by the expert as he revealed that they weren't worth a huge amount.
He said: "Well, they're strange things. They're very magical things. And so you have love and love beyond the grave and this is stunning stuff and very emotional, and curiously enough, not hugely valuable."
