Antique Biedermeier hair chain with medallion & possible meteorite stone – A symbol of love and remembrance

A rare piece of jewelry from the Biedermeier period – symbol of love & memory 

This extraordinary Biedermeier hair chain from the period 1815 to 1848 is not only a fascinating piece of jewelry, but also an emotional memento of a bygone era. It was crafted from artfully braided human hair —a popular technique in the 19th century used by people to express their attachment to loved ones.

The pendant is the centerpiece of the necklace and features an ornate medallion with two meaningful stones:
Black Onyx – symbol of protection & inner strength

Such necklaces were often given as commemorative gifts by wives to their husbands who were traveling or going to war. They were meant to symbolize the words "Forget me not" and to let the wearer always feel the love and support of their family.

A unique historical piece for collectors, lovers of antique jewelry, or anyone seeking a profound symbol of love and connection.
