Description
This round trinket box marks a 21st birthday in polished silver, with an embossed lid that does the celebrating for you. At the centre of the lid a large 21st sits above a ribbon banner reading Birthday, with three stars beneath it. Around the edge runs a border that counts those years every way you can: 21 years, 252 months, 1095 weeks, 7670 days, 184080 hours and 11044800 minutes. It is made of metal with a bright, mirror-like silver finish on the lid and the plain, smooth sides, and it is small enough to sit in the palm of a hand at 4cm tall and 6cm across.
Because it is so compact, it suits a dressing table, a bedside table or a bookshelf, and it is the right size for a ring, a pair of earrings, a pendant or a small memento from the day itself. We think it makes a thoughtful birthday gift on its own, and it works just as well as a way to present something more: tuck a piece of jewellery or a folded note inside and the box becomes part of the present. Long after the party, it can stay out on show as a reminder of a big birthday, and the figures around the lid are a cheerful thing to read again.
The lid is a separate piece that lifts off and rests on the round base, so there is no hinge and nothing fiddly to open. The embossed detail stands proud of the lid and catches the light, while the sides are left plain and polished. To keep the shine at its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, which can scratch a polished metal surface. For gifting, set it on a nest of tissue or beside a birthday card, and let the person turning 21 lift the lid to find what you have hidden inside.
