In the Victorian era, women wore long watch chains like this (also called 'guard chains') around their neck with a pocket watch attached to the end and tucked in their hip pocket. Sometimes they would use the same chain to hold a lorgnette, wax seal stamp, keys, or other decorative fobs! It was multi-purpose back then and today its fifty inches of chain makes for so many different looks! There is so many ways to style this antique beauty — you can wear it like a lariat, layer it and hang charms from the end with the swivel hook, or wrap it around your wrist as a bracelet!
