Oval Mermaid Resin Trinket Box with Lift-Off Lid - Silver

This oval resin trinket box is topped with a mermaid lying across its lid, her chin resting on her hands and her tail curling up behind her. Her long hair and scaled tail shimmer in iridescent green and purple, with a small flower tucked into her hair, while the box beneath has an antique silver finish. Scrolls and swirls run in relief around the base, a wave pattern circles the edge of the lid, and a faceted blue jewel sits at the front within the scrollwork. It stands 11cm tall, 13cm across and 10cm deep, a compact size for a dressing table.

Lift the lid and the oval base opens to a black interior, with room for rings, earrings, a favourite pendant or a few hair clips. On a dressing table it keeps the small pieces you reach for every day together, and on a bedside table it gives the rings you take off at night a spot to land. It looks just as much at home on a bookshelf or mantelpiece as a decorative piece in its own right, where the green and purple of the mermaid stand out against the silver. It also suits a bedroom with a seaside or fairy-tale theme, or a shelf of shells and sea treasures.

The box is made from resin, and the mermaid sits on the lid, so she lifts away with it. The lid rests on the base without a hinge and comes fully off, so you can set it down beside the box while you choose a pair of earrings. To keep the antique silver finish and the mermaid's colours at their best, dust with a soft dry cloth, and wipe away any marks with a lightly damp cloth before drying it. For gifting, tuck a ring or a pair of earrings inside before you wrap it, and the box becomes two presents in one.
