nautilus shell ring box

On bottom: Warner J. C. Co. Buffalo, NY, Made in USA

Inside: Saks Jewelers, 3023 Kensington Ave., Philadelphia, PA

This nautilus shaped ring box is my current favorite from my collection. No detail was overlooked. The exterior has fluid curvatures, raised gold painted swirls and a lovely sea foam green color, which is appropriate since it resembles a nautilus seashell. The interior also has gold painted swirls and a deep red velvet pad. What can only be experienced is the weight and ease of the box's hinge, especially for its age. I have quite a few boxes in my collection and I have to say that this ring box even feels luxurious as you open it. It is a rare beauty.
