Description
This little trinket box takes the form of a dark blue egg, covered in red poppies and raised on an ornate gold pedestal base. The metal body has a deep, glossy navy finish. Fine gold stems run across it and carry the poppy heads, each set with a cluster of tiny sparkling red jewels, with smaller red buds and flowers between them. A polished gold rim circles the egg where the domed lid meets the body, and a matching gold edge trims the lid itself. It stands 5cm tall, 4cm wide and 4cm deep.
Lift the lid and the inside is a surprise of its own: a brighter, marbled mid-blue that sets off whatever you keep there. Small as it is, it suits the small things that tend to go astray, such as a pair of stud earrings, a ring slipped off at bedtime, a spare button or a tiny keepsake. We like it on a dressing table beside a jewellery box, on a bedside table, or on a shelf or mantelpiece where the red and gold catch the light. It is a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves pretty, ornate things.
The body, lid and pedestal are metal, with the gold tone of the base, stems and rims set against the navy. The lid lifts off completely, so set it down gently beside the egg while you reach inside, then line it up and settle it back on the rim to close. The wide, sculpted base keeps the egg upright on a flat surface. To care for it, dust with a soft dry cloth and, if needed, wipe gently with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away. For a gift, tuck a ring or a pair of earrings inside before you wrap it, so it opens to a second surprise.

Frequently Asked
How big is the blue poppy egg trinket box?
It stands 5cm tall and measures 4cm wide and 4cm deep, so it is a small box for rings, earrings and other tiny pieces.
What is the trinket box made of?
The trinket box is metal, with a glossy dark blue finish, a gold-tone base, stems and rims, and red jewelled poppies.
Is the lid hinged?
No, the lid lifts off completely rather than opening on a hinge, so set it down beside the egg while you reach inside.
What colour is the inside?
The inside is a marbled mid-blue, brighter than the dark navy outside, which shows off rings and earrings nicely when you lift the lid.
Will it stand up on its own?
Yes, it sits on a wide, sculpted gold pedestal base that keeps it upright on a dressing table, shelf or any flat surface.
How do I look after it?
Dust it with a soft dry cloth. If it needs more, wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away.
