Heart Metal Trinket Box with Flowers & Crystals - Cream & Silver

This heart trinket box is made from metal alloy with a real silver-plated finish, and its lid is covered edge to edge with cream flowers, each one centred on a sparkling crystal. More crystals sit in the gaps between the petals, so the whole top catches the light from every angle. The same cream flowers run all the way around the sides in a pierced, openwork band, framed by a plain polished silver rim at the top and base. It is a small piece, 3.4cm high, 5.5cm wide and 5.6cm deep, which makes it just the right size for a ring or a pair of small earrings.

On a dressing table, a bedside table or a shelf, the cream and silver colouring sits happily with soft, light schemes and brings a little sparkle without taking over. We like it as a home for the small things that matter: a favourite ring, a tiny charm, a pressed flower or a folded note. As a gift, the heart shape and the cream flowers make it a sweet way to say something kind, and it looks special with nothing more than a little tissue paper around it.

The lid lifts on a small hinge at the back and closes neatly onto the base, and the inside of the base is lined in softly textured cream, so whatever you keep in it rests on a pale, gentle surface. Under the lid the backs of the flowers show through in bright silver, a nice detail every time it opens. To keep the silver-plated finish bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive polishes; a light wipe with a barely damp cloth lifts fingerprints. Set it beside a jewellery dish or a framed photograph for a dressing table corner, or tuck a small piece of jewellery inside before you give it, so the box becomes part of the gift.
