Notes Complete sets such as this one are exceptionally rare, and afford a fascinating view of how jewelry was really worn at the time. Thus, we learn that wearing a watch on a chatelaine was still in fashion in the mid-19th century, that watches were worn sometimes on chatelaines, sometimes as pendants on chains, and sometimes as a fob hanging from a brooch. Such sets were very often broken up during estate divisions.This is the first time we have ever seen such a fine and complete set.
