I was very lucky in finding my second nautilus shaped ring box for my collection. The salmon color is stunning against the ruby red ring pad. Again, the exterior has fluid curvatures gilded with gold. The hinge on this particular design is the best out of all the ring boxes I have ever tested. It also has a substantial weight that gives a feeling of quality. This ring box is definitely one that I treasure.

Love your ring boxes, they are dynamite! The little lip of the shell on then front is also so cute, inviting - and functional. The salmon color and rich gilt detail is gorgeous, kind of over-the-top Rococo. Can only imagine what was originally inside!
