Decorative Interior: Inside, two gold medallions with threaded ribbons enhance the box’s refined, ceremonial feel, offering a hidden layer of beauty.
Functional and Decorative: Perfect for use as a decorative object, a jewelry box, a keepsake container, or a small personal storage piece.
Versatile Placement: Its understated luxury allows it to fit effortlessly into minimalist, traditional, wabi-sabi, or eclectic interiors.
