Chatelaine: "...a set of short chains attached to a woman's belt, used for carrying keys or other items."

OK, I give, what the heck are these supposed to be for, and why are they a thing?

Is the locket supposed to hang from it? (Also, why does this exist?)

After the experience I've had with vanguard, I don't think I'm buying any jewlery from them any time soon... Especially if it's 100 bucks...
