This long women's watch chain with a slide ends in a swivel clasp. The slide is roughly cruciform, with two ends elongated and pointed (north and south) and two shorter ends rounded (east and west). Along the vertical axis it is set with six small blister freshwater pearls and a central clear faceted paste stone. The rounded ends are embellished with geometric chasing. The swivel shows a maker's mark.
