A silver chatelaine features a filigree plate framing a banded orange carnelian accented with four turquoise gems. Above, a ring and geometric links lead to a vertical strand of colorful beads. Below the plate, four patterned chains suspend a curved white tooth and four slender tools, including a leaf-shaped blade and a spatula. The assembly tapers from a narrow top into a wide, weighted fringe of metallic and organic elements.
