Antique jewelry boxes, Caskets, Trinket Boxes

Throughout history, jewelry boxes were constructed and designed by craftsmen, one box at a time.

Jewel boxes were available in all sizes, from the smallest ring box to handkerchief and even glove sized boxes.
Jewel Cases, caskets, and trinket boxes were classified as Art Metal Wares, and were plated in gold, silver, copper or ivory. The most common base metals for jewel boxes were actually spelter or antimonial lead.

Most jewel boxes were first electroplated with copper, then finished with gold or silver. Enamel finished boxes were more lasting than gold or silver boxes.

Some boxes were lined with velvet in brighter colors. All was reflected in Jewel Boxes.

Most today associate Art Nouveau with graceful nymph-like young women, but floral motifs held a major place in the American Nouveau jewelry box world.

There were several American Art Metal manufacturers that designed and produced jewel boxes.

Gold and silver finished boxes were the most common. Also rare are souvenir jewel boxes with commemorative ceramic or photo discs. The ivory finished boxes, though somewhat later in development, remain elusive.
