No, I didn't use the word lost - that was another poster whom I was
supporting.
I found this: http://www.carolinaclassical.com/mendelssohn/index.html

That is a real pity, as if my husband were to wear a jewelled or
decorated chain in England it would be considered to be pretentious
and inaccurate, as it is not seen in portraits as far as I can
remember.He will probably have to go without altogether in that case,

As a long-time SCA member, I think the original poster's best choice of
action would be to ask their intended hostess/inviter, as she did mention
that she was going to. The hostess would be the best source for knowing
local SCA levels of tolerance for such things.

Basically the only things to avoid as far as visiting an SCA event would be

As was suggested attaching a fob or pin to the end of a gold chain will

I also worried about the headdress for my Valois gown as it was extremely
