Description
This silver resin trinket box takes the form of Nagini, the great snake of the Harry Potter stories, coiled around an oval box with the snake's head raised on the lid. Raised scales cover every surface, broad across the body and finer along the coils that wrap the sides, and the open mouth shows a pair of fangs. Lift the lid and a raised skull and serpent emblem sits on the floor inside, above the word MORSMORDRE. The shiny silver finish picks out each scale, and the box stands 7.3cm tall, 10.4cm across and 10.2cm deep.
At that size it holds rings, earrings, a favourite pendant or a few small keepsakes, and it sits neatly on a dressing table, bedside table, desk or bookshelf. It suits a bedroom or study with a darker, gothic feel, and we think it makes a fitting Halloween gift, or a piece to bring out each October when the house turns spooky. With the lid on it reads as a coiled snake ornament in its own right; with the lid off, the emblem inside is a small surprise for whoever opens it.
The box is made from polystone resin with a shiny silver finish, and darker lines between the scales give the detail real depth. The lid lifts straight off rather than hinging, so it is easy to reach inside, and small dark feet beneath the base keep it steady on a shelf or table. To keep the finish bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and, when it needs more, wipe it with a lightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. Give it a spot where the light catches the coils, and tuck a ring or two inside so there is always a reason to lift the lid.

Frequently Asked
How big is the Nagini trinket box?
It stands 7.3cm tall and measures 10.4cm across and 10.2cm deep. That is a neat size for rings, earrings and small keepsakes on a dressing table or shelf.
What is the trinket box made from?
It is made from polystone resin with a shiny silver finish. Darker lines between the raised scales bring out the detail of the coiled snake.
Is there any detail inside the box?
Yes. The floor inside carries a raised skull and serpent emblem above the word MORSMORDRE, so there is something to find each time you lift the lid.
Does the lid hinge or lift off?
The lid lifts straight off. The snake's head and coils sit on top of it, and it rests on the rim of the base when the box is closed.
How should I look after the silver finish?
Dust it with a soft dry cloth. When it needs more, wipe it gently with a lightly damp cloth and dry it straight away to keep the shiny finish looking its best.
Would it make a good Halloween gift?
We think so. A coiled snake trinket box with an emblem hidden inside suits Halloween well, and it stays useful for small jewellery on a dressing table all year round.
