Found this ornate metal clip with dangling chains and miniature tools at an estate sale. It looks like jewelry but has tiny scissors attached.

The tiny scissors attached to a chatelaine are a perfect example of the multi-functional nature of this accessory. Measuring just a few inches in length, these scissors were sharp enough to perform small cutting tasks, such as snipping threads or opening letters. Their presence on a chatelaine signified the wearer’s role in managing household duties, where such tasks were commonplace.
