Chatelaine is French for \"lady of the castle\"...Chatelaines functioned as a practical everyday toolset for women going all the way back to the 16th century. Made of sterling silver, chatelaines were worn on belts or a clasp at the waist. Little sterling tools such as mini scissors, vials with straight pins, smelling salts and keys became objects of beauty grouped together to create a chatelaine. Chatelaines were the predecessor to the modern hand bag. Antique chatelaines can be purchased at auction starting around $400 and can exceed $4,000. These one time every day items are considered timeless treasures today. I recommend searching them on google. Lots of fun to look research them. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heather Elizabeth Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57512187723936,"sku":null,"price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/8809\/7952\/files\/1A84A8B5-A1C9-4F0A-9882-E414BC4707D3.jpg?v=1780175720","url":"https:\/\/hedesigns.com\/products\/bee-crown-chatelaine-necklace","provider":"Heather Elizabeth Designs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
