Jewellery box 925 silver niello gilt — Set with necklace and egg

A silver box that looks like an Easter basket from the Tsar's palace – with a twisted handle, domed lid, and a lily crown as a finial. Completely covered with dense floral niello ornamentation in black and gold, gilded inside, on a slender stem with a golden foot ring. And it comes with a set: a removable basket with a handle (H 67 mm) that can be used separately as a trinket dish, plus a hand chain with small egg pendants in niello. Three pieces, one ensemble. 131 millimeters high, 173.5 grams of silver for the box alone, all made of 925 sterling silver. A piece that stands between a jewelry box, collector's item, and Easter tradition – and convinces in every role.

The Box – an Easter Basket of Silver and Niello

The shape resembles a Russian Easter basket: a bulbous cup on a slender stem, with a twisted handle and a decorative bow at the top. The entire body is covered with niello hand engraving – large floral medallions alternate with dense tendril fields, all in black on silver with gilded contours. Not a square centimeter remains untouched. The ornamentation is so dense and uniform that you have to turn the box to see all the motifs – each side tells the same story in a slightly different composition.

The interior of the box is completely gilded – a warm golden space that opens when the domed lid is removed. Inside sits a removable basket with a twisted handle – 67 mm high, a small work of art in itself. The basket can be used separately as a trinket dish: on the bedside table for rings, on the dresser for earrings. Inside the box, it keeps jewelry neat and protected. Without the basket, the box offers space for larger pieces. Closed, a sculpture; open, a gilded jewelry box – with a basket that can be removed and placed wherever you wish.

The Domed Lid with a Lily Crown

The lid mirrors the ornamentation of the box: the same floral niello, the same gilded contours, the same density. A gilded fleur-de-lis sits on top – the lily motif that has stood for nobility and purity for centuries. This small crown gives the box its royal character. When the lid is in place, the cup and lid merge into a single unit – the ornamentation flows seamlessly across the dividing line. A closed piece that appears to be made from a single mold.

The Set – Hand Chain with Egg Pendants

The box comes with a hand chain made of 925 silver with small egg pendants – each egg featuring the same niello ornamentation as the box. 220 mm long, weighing 11 g, it is a delicate piece that complements the box and turns the set into a gift ensemble. The eggs on the chain pick up on the Easter motif: decorated eggs that are given as gifts – here not individually, but strung on a chain. Together with the box, they form a complete gift that requires no additional accessories.

Three Functions in One Piece

Jewelry box: The gilded interior holds rings, earrings, pendants, or small keepsakes. The box stands securely on its stem and opens with the removable lid. On the bedside table, dresser, vanity – a daily companion that not only stores jewelry but celebrates it.

Collector's item: The dense niello ornamentation, the gilding, the lily crown, the twisted handle – this is a piece that stands in a display case and provokes questions. For collectors of Russian silver craftsmanship, it's a piece that finds its own place between souvenir eggs and jewelry boxes.

Easter set: The egg shape of the box and the egg pendants on the chain make this set the perfect Easter gift – in the tradition of Russian Easter eggs, but as a functional set that is used all year round.

For What Occasions This Set Is Suitable

Easter: An Easter gift that elevates the tradition of decorated eggs to a new dimension – from decoration to function, from a single piece to a set.

Wedding: The jewelry box as a bridal gift – the first place where the wedding ring will reside after the ceremony. Plus the chain with egg pendants as an accessory.

Round birthday: For women who appreciate jewelry and craftsmanship – a gift that combines storage and art. More: Luxury gifts for women.

Collectors: Those who already own a Georg-Ei or the Precious Wonder will find in this jewelry box the piece that is used most in everyday life – a box that is opened and closed every day.
