Featured Large antique 14k clasp, what did it go to?

I posted about this awhile ago and I finally got it. It is an unusually large dog clip clasp 14k gold. It measures about an inch and a half. Weighs 7 grams. My best guess is that it went to a very heavy pocket watch back in the day... If so I would love to had seen the chain that was attached to it! Any other thoughts?

Also I plan on turning this into a bracelet. My initial thoughts were to attach a leather cord on both ends... but I don't know how to go about doing that? Any ideas?

 

would it not serve better as a necklace...maybe holding a pendant...?

 

Hmm it could be but I don't wear necklaces often, I was thinking of something like this

 

yup, something like that.....classy smooth leather.........that's nice !

 

One side of a pocket watch chain.

 

Or perhaps a muff chain?

Here's some wishful thinking.

Pocket watch chain originally, but I'd throw some leather on it and wear that as a necklace. Alternately, resell to a 'watch guy' who buys spares to repair old chains. All you'd need to make a necklace is a suede cord and a couple of knots.

 

Here is the original thread about this piece.
