CHATELAINES
In Victorian times, ladies wore
chatelaines
like these in order to have frequently used tools handy. They were generally
worn at the waist, either of the style that tucked in or pinned onto the
waistband of their skirt or apron. A lady might have several chatelaines--
one for sewing, one for keys, personal hygeine, etc. Today, ladies enjoy
wearing them for the same reason, or just as period jewelry to invoke the grace
and style of an earlier time.
