Victoria Whitson's Chatelaine: The Movie

Melissa of The Wool and The Floss goes into detail about the chatelaines from Victoria Whitson in this Instagram video. 

They come in many different gemstone colors.  You can browse the VW website and then ask your favorite shop to order for you.  Prices vary according to exactly what each necklace is made from.

I don't care for chatelaines--I find them difficult to manage, but I think I'm in the minority here as I don't travel.  There is no doubt these are beautiful and well made.
