Trinket Box History & Technique

Trinket box is the modern day derivative of Limoges Box. Tracing back to the 18th century, when it became a noble collectible for some of the most prestigious royalties. The boxes were originally used to send love poems, engagement rings, jewellery and other special trinkets between lovers and friends.

The technique of making jewelled trinkets is complex and involves repeated applications and firings to create the intricate details and depth of the colour for each design. It is baked, polished and plated with gold or silver trims and finished with hand set crystals for a dazzling accent to the enamel.
