<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 207082, member: 36"]This may be half of a chatelaine. That's a name used for a pair of pins with a chain between them. Sometimes they were detachable so one could be worn separately. This stick pin could also be part of a cloak clasp style thingie. It could go either way, but I'm not seeing any signs this was ever part of a necklace; there ought to be some sort of mark left behind where it was removed from cording or chain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
