This is a photo of a mourning brooch, it contains a loch of hair. It is small, only 2cm x1cm
On the reverse are initials which I can’t work out. I am hoping that someone will be able to decipher them.Thank you!

My thoughts exactly !

Lock of hair and J T is my pick as well.

Yes , most likely JT. or IT.
No cross bar for F .

I agree with the above, though I suggest an “I” rather than “J” due to the lack of a tail, however a tail could have been omitted to make the letters fit more neatly on the brooch. (hedging my bets here) :)
There are probably more names which begin with a J rather than an I, so may be more likely to be a J (more hedging) :)

Looks like IT for me
If a tail on the first letter went below the line, then JT
