A beautifully crafted vintage trinket box made in Mexico, featuring shimmering abalone shell tiles set into a warm brass frame. The iridescent shell — with its deep ocean greens, violets, and soft blues — shifts beautifully in the light, creating a mosaic surface that feels both artisanal and sculptural.
Mexican abalone craftsmanship from the mid-century period is renowned for its hand-cut shell work, and this piece shows exactly that: subtle variations in the tiles, warm brass patina, and a satisfying weight that speaks to its quality.
Perfect for rings, earrings, small keepsakes, or simply as an eye-catching decorative accent on a vanity or shelf.
Excellent vintage condition with gentle patina on the brass.
Dimensions: 8.5 × 7 × 2 cm
