The chatelaine is made of five navette-shaped gold badges joined with delicate gold links and decorated on front and back with opaque white animal and structural motifs within light blue enamel frames. The links that connect the badges also hold a wedge-shaped ornamental tablet, which is painted on both sides with polychrome enamel pastoral scenes against engine-turned and translucent enamel backgrounds. Two more navette-shaped gold badges are attached, with one carrying a matching signet and the other a matching octagonal watch key.
