Description
This classic butterfly trinket box is a small metal keepsake with a lid shaped as a butterfly and set all over with clear, sparkling stones. The wings are picked out in rows of tiny stones around larger, rounded panels, with a slim silver-tone body, curling antennae tipped with bigger round stones and a few larger stones at the head that catch the light from every side. Beneath it sits a pearly white base that follows the butterfly's outline, its curved sides trimmed with a bright silver rim. It measures 6.5cm wide, 5.5cm deep and 2cm high, a neat size that sits comfortably in the palm of your hand.
We think it suits a dressing table, a bedside cabinet or a shelf in a bedroom, anywhere small things tend to gather. Inside there is room for a pair of earrings, a ring or two, a delicate chain or a few small treasures you want to keep together. Because it is compact, it tucks easily beside a mirror or a photo frame without crowding the surface. It makes a thoughtful gift for a mum or a grandmother who loves butterflies, a pretty piece she will see every day and reach for whenever she takes off her rings.
The lid opens on a small metal hinge at the back and closes down neatly over the base, so whatever you keep inside stays put. The inside of the base and the underside of the lid share the same pearly white finish as the outside, edged with silver. To keep the stones bright, dust the lid with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush, and wipe the base gently with a slightly damp cloth before drying it straight away. For a gift, tuck a little something inside before you wrap it, perhaps a pair of earrings or a handwritten note, so the butterfly is opened to a second surprise.
