About the Item
This vintage onyx trinket box features a beautifully sculpted shell-shaped lid with soft, undulating edges and natural banding in tones of caramel, sand, and cream. Hand-carved in Mexico, this piece showcases the organic beauty of onyx, with striking linear veining and a gentle translucency that catches the light elegantly. The box opens on petite brass hinges to reveal a smooth, rounded interior—perfectly sized for storing jewelry, rings, or other small treasures.
Its sculptural silhouette and earthy palette make it a timeless decorative object, equally at home on a vanity, nightstand, or shelf. The box is in very good vintage condition with a small, nearly unnoticeable chip at the bottom edge, shown clearly in the last photo with a pen for scale. Hinges are secure and fully functional.
