Description
This gothic skull jewellery box is a small piece with plenty of character. A gold skull wears a tall crown set with jewel-like studs in clear, red and green, and rests on a stack of old books with gold page edges and a glossy black top cover. The skull is detailed with fine cracks and shading, and its white teeth stand out against the gold, giving it a weathered, antique look. It stands 7.5cm tall, 6.1cm wide and 5cm deep, so it sits neatly on a dressing table, bookshelf or bedside cabinet without taking over.
The top book is the lid. It lifts on a small hinge at the spine to open onto a white interior, a tidy place for rings, stud earrings and other small treasures you want to keep close. Because the skull is fixed to the lid, the whole piece reads as an ornament when closed, so it earns its place on display all year rather than hiding in a drawer. It suits a gothic bedroom, a dark reading corner or a shelf of curiosities, and we think it makes a fun Halloween gift that will be kept long after the pumpkins are gone.
The gold finish is set off by brighter touches of colour on the crown and the darker black of the book cover, so it catches the light from every side. The back of the skull carries the same crackled detail, so it looks just as good on an open shelf as against a wall. To care for it, dust with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp, as you would any decorative piece. Pop a pair of earrings inside before you wrap it, and the gift opens twice.
