This is a wonderful vintage unsigned August Bonaz penguin pin. The original art deco pin is black galalith (French Bakelite) with gold and silver paint and inset crystal rhinestones on the penguin's tummy. He is 2-3/4" tall and has a French trombone style pin back. This was purchased in Paris after the discovery of a collection of old Bonaz stock, never used, was discovered.

This is a very old Whitby Jet bracelet with a center set with a carved shell cameo. The links are shiny and square, and the bracelet unstretched measures between 6 1/4" and 6 1/2". I have a six inch wrist and it is a bit too large for me. The square links are 5/8". The top link has an oval jet piece 1"x3/4" and it is set with a shell cameo depicting a lovely Victorian lady.

This is a well-known and hard-to-find set in very good condition. It is shown on page 353 of Julia Carroll's book, Collecting Costume Jewelry 202.

First of all, the set is big - the larger of the figured pieces are 2" x 1 3/4...
