Page 111 & 112-113, "Old Jewelry 1840-1950, 5th Edition" by
C. Jeanenne Bell, G.G. Several examples on the three pages.
The bookchain in the photo on the left is most like the book
example. There is a small carved cameo in the center drop
which might be coral. The owner inherited this from an
aunt who lived in India as a child as her father was the
Ambassador to India at the time. The other book-chain example
has a center drop/closing and was maybe a watch-fob at one
time. [ larger view]
