This chatelaine was made by the silversmithing firm of A Edward Jones which was established in 1902. The ceramic cabochons are thought to have been made by the Ruskin Pottery established in 1898. In the early 1900's, the Ruskin Pottery introduced these small round cabochons, which they called, 'enamels' or 'plaques'. The idea was to use them as gems for inserting into wood, or mounting into metal, and jewellery. They became a major part of the pottery's output over the next few years.
