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.
