Description
This jewelled crab trinket box brings a little piece of the seaside to a dressing table, made from metal and finished in glossy brown and white. The crab is modelled in full, with slender legs reaching out on either side and two big claws curving round at the front, while its broad shell forms the lid. Clear sparkling stones are set across the back of the shell and dotted along both claws, catching the light as you pass. Lift the shell and it opens on a small hinge to reveal a cream inside edged with a gold-coloured rim. It measures 3.3cm tall, 8.4cm wide and 12.6cm deep, so it sits low and flat wherever you put it.
We think it looks happiest on a dressing table or bedside table, where the hollow inside is right for a ring, a pair of stud earrings or a small keepsake you want to keep close. It also suits a shelf or windowsill in a room with a coastal feel, sitting alongside shells, pebbles or a seaside print, and it adds a playful note to a desk or hallway console. Because it sits flat without any fixing, it can move from room to room as the mood takes you. As a gift it is a cheerful choice that feels more special than its size suggests.
The body is metal, finished in a glossy coat of brown with white along the edge of the shell and the inner edge of the claws, and the clear stones are set into the surface in small clusters. The lid closes neatly down onto the base on its hinge. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, keep it away from water and open the lid gently. Set it on a small tray beside your perfume bottles, or wrap it with a seaside card for a present that needs no explaining.
