Description
This metal trinket box takes the shape of an orca whale leaping clear of a curling wave, and the upper half of the whale's body lifts on a small hinge to open. The orca is finished in glossy black, with white markings along its belly and near its tail, and fine gold lines tracing its fins, its smiling mouth and the seam of the lid. Its eye patch is picked out in gold and set with tiny clear stones that catch the light. Beneath it, the wave sweeps from soft blue into white foam and curls out at the base, giving the piece its own stand. It measures 8.1cm tall, 7.4cm wide and 4cm deep.
Open the lid and there is a little hollow inside, just right for a tiny keepsake. On a dressing table it sits happily among perfume bottles and hairbrushes, and on a bedside table it gives you a handy spot for something small at the end of the day. It is just as much at home on a bookshelf, a desk or a windowsill, or in a glass-fronted cabinet, where the black and gold shine and the blue wave adds a cheerful splash of colour. It suits a bedroom, a living room or a study.
The box is made of metal with a smooth, glossy finish, and its gold edging follows the line where the lid meets the body, so it closes neatly. To open it, lift gently from the head end and let the small hinge near the tail do the work. Care is simple: dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water. As a present it needs little more than tissue paper and a ribbon. Set it beside a jewellery dish or a favourite photo frame for a small seaside corner of its own.
