It was a love token.
There were two places in Sense and Sensibility where we see locks of hair. The first is where Willoughby takes a lock of Marianne's hair. Margaret sees this, and when she tells her mother and Elinor, they regard it as strong evidence that Marianne and Willoughby are secretly engaged. The other place is where Edward Dashwood is seen to have a ring with a lock of hair in it, both Marianne and Elinor assume it to be Elinor's because both (correctly) believe him to be in love with Elinor. Elinor is somewhat surprised, since she never gave him a lock of hair, so she assumes he secretly stole it. It is, of course, a gift from Lucy Steele, to whom he is secretly engaged, and from whom he wishes to be free.
