Description
This round silverplated trinket box marks a 30th birthday with a bright, polished finish and a sparkling number on its lid. The figures 3 and 0 stand upright on top, each set with a row of small clear crystals, and more crystals are dotted in a ring around the edge of the lid. The box is real silverplate in a smooth, mirror-bright silver, and its plain straight sides leave the number to do the talking. It is a small piece, 6cm tall and 5cm across, made to be picked up and opened rather than tucked away.
At 5cm across, it is well sized for the small things that tend to go astray: a favourite ring, a pair of stud earrings, a fine chain or a pair of cufflinks. It sits neatly on a dressing table or a bedside table, where it is close to hand at the end of the day, and it looks just as at home on a mantelpiece or a bookshelf among birthday cards and photographs. We think it makes a thoughtful 30th birthday gift, the kind of present that is kept and used long after the balloons have gone, and its polished silver suits most rooms and most tastes.
The lid lifts straight off, and inside the box is lined with a soft pale fabric, so rings and chains rest on something gentle rather than bare metal. To keep the silverplate bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive pads or harsh polishes, which can wear the plating over time; a light buff now and then brings back the shine. Keep it somewhere dry, away from damp windowsills. For a present that opens twice, tuck a ring or a pair of earrings inside before you wrap it.
