Description
This crystal turtle trinket box is a small silver keepsake with a big personality. Its domed shell is set all over with rows of clear sparkling stones. The shell is divided into panels, just like a real turtle's, and each panel catches the light from every angle. Beneath the shell, the body has a polished silver head with dark eyes, four smooth flippers and a fine criss-cross pattern etched along the sides. It is made from metal and measures 9cm wide, 6.5cm deep and 4cm high, so it sits neatly in the palm of your hand.
Lift the shell and it opens on a hinge to reveal a smooth cream interior, a soft contrast to all that sparkle. The space inside suits a pair of earrings, a ring or two, a spare key or a tiny memento you want to keep safe. On a dressing table it gathers small pieces of jewellery together at the end of the day. On a bedside table, a mantelpiece or a bookshelf it makes a cheerful little ornament even with the lid closed. It stands steadily on its own four flippers, so it needs no dish or stand beneath it.
The silver finish has a bright, mirror-like shine on the head and flippers, while the stones give the shell its glitter. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, which can dull a polished metal surface. Keep it away from water so the stones stay bright. Open and close the lid gently by the shell rather than pulling on the hinge. As a gift it is the kind of small treasure people tend to keep for years. We like it best with a ring tucked inside, set beside a mirror where the stones can catch the light.
