Perfect for many different things, but the inspiration was made for an 18th or 19th Century watch chain (also known as equipage or a chatelaine). It can also be used for sewing items if you so desire.

This is made in brass with a hook on the back that attaches to your petticoat. The hook is about 3/4 inches wide and almost 2 inches long. The back is plain and lays nicely so it won't rub. It is made with vintage and new pieces. It is also made to emulate those of the time period. The swivels are vintage and really simulate originals as best as possible.

These measures approximately 5 inches to 6-1/2 inches long with the brass at just over 1-3/4 inches wide. Perfect for those upper middling to upper class or costuming impressions! There are three styles in stock, and the photo will match the drop down listing so you can decide which one you like! All are very appropriate to give the illusion of a real watch chain.

Hang your watch from it on the center chain - and add a key, and seal on either side or whatever trinkets you wish. These are some of my most accurate watch chains yet! :-) As I continue my quest for a good construction, rings may be different on the one purchased.

I sell watches, watch seals, keys, and other trinkets, pendants, and "toys" worn on these chains.
