Capiz Shell Trinket Box
Natural Shell with Brass-Tone Wire Mounts
Vintage Coastal Decorative Object


This vintage trinket box is crafted from two polished natural shell halves bound in fitted brass-tone metal rims. Common as seaside souvenirs and vanity keepsakes, such boxes showcase the distinctive concentric pink-to-cream banding and smooth iridescent luster inherent to natural shell specimens.


• Polished natural shell exterior with vivid salmon pink and cream growth rings
• Brass-tone wire mounting with functioning wire hinge and closure clasp
• Clean natural interior suitable for small jewelry, coins, or keepsakes
• Measures approximately 3 inches in diameter (ruler visible in photos)


Condition: Very good vintage condition. Shell surfaces show rich natural polish with no cracks or breaks. Brass-tone metal mounting shows minor age patina and light surface oxidation. Hinge and wire catch are intact and open and close smoothly.
