Description from the seller

Elegant jewel box made of charoite with decorative metal appliques.

Exceptional octagonal jewelry and storage box made of solid charoite. The stone displays the characteristic violet, cloud-marbled pattern with vivid veining—each piece is a one-of-a-kind.

The lid is adorned with a large cabochon and finely crafted, ornately curved metal appliqués. The closure is also designed to be decorative. The combination of the stone's intense violet and the gold-colored elements looks very high-quality and timeless.

Suitable as a jewelry box, a collectible item, or a decorative object.
