Description
This metal trinket box takes the shape of a heart, with a silver lid that lifts off to reveal a white base and a gathered lining inside. The lid is the part that catches the light: a close pattern of round clear crystals set in silver-coloured metal, finished with a fine ribbed edge and two butterflies whose wings are cut from larger faceted stones, perched among delicate curls of silver scroll. It is a small piece, 4.8cm high, 7.7cm wide and 7.6cm deep, so it sits easily in the palm of your hand and takes up very little room on a dressing table.
We think of it first for the dressing table or bedside, a place for rings, earrings and small pieces of jewellery that otherwise wander off between wears. Its size suits a pair of earrings or a few rings rather than everything you own, which is part of its charm: it keeps the pieces that matter most close at hand. It sits as nicely on a bedroom shelf or a windowsill, where the crystals pick up the daylight. As a gift, it is a thoughtful choice for Mum or for a grandmother, the kind of small, pretty thing that is kept and used for years.
The box is made of metal, with a silver finish to the lid and a white finish to the base, and the lid rests on top rather than hinging, so it lifts clean away when you want to reach inside. To keep it looking its best, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid polishes or harsh cleaners, which can dull the finish. Wrap it with a ring or a pair of earrings already tucked inside and it becomes a gift within a gift; on its own, it makes a pretty finishing touch to a dressing table beside a mirror or a small vase of flowers.
