This box is so much prettier when you see it for real. I really like antiquey things, so this caught my eye immediately. However, when i opened it up, I saw that the finish and the embossed plate was so much more colorful and lovely than the photo could have ever shown. Just love the neat little latch. It's so different from most of the the other jewelry boxes I've seen. Unique! Great customer service and super fast shipping, too!
