Made of Pewter: This vintage-style jewelry box is made of pewter, a tin alloy that is known for its multi-faceted utility and tarnish-resistant properties that allow it to maintain its natural sheen over time.
Claddagh Design: At the center of the lid of this box is the Claddagh emblem. With a history that goes back over four centuries in Galway, Ireland, the Claddagh features two gloved hands joining together in friendship that hold a heart symbolizing love, with the heart decorated with a crown of loyalty.
Decorative Borders and Claw Feet: Splendid branch and vine-styled patterns adorn all four sides of this box, highlighting the centers of the front and back sides with dainty hearts that are inverted for a striking touch. This same branch and vine motif highlights the outer borders of the lid that encircle the majestic Claddagh emblem that sits inside of a rounded rectangular frame. Finishing off this box with a nostalgically old-school effect are claw foot legs that exude an antique flair.
Dimensions and Lining: This jewelry box has measurements of 3" L x 2.5" W x 2" H. It is lined with crimson red felt, a soft material that will be gentle on your jewelry pieces and have this box radiating beauty from the inside out.
Made in Ireland: This lovely jewelry box is handmade in Ireland by the skilled craftspeople of Mullingar Pewter, an iconic Irish brand that has been making timeless pewter pieces since 1974.
