Diana 925 Silver Niello Casket — transforms into a brooch, bracelet, and mirror

When closed, it's a casket — a round silver box on a golden tray with feet, covered with intricate niello ornamentation and garnets. When opened, it transforms into three pieces of jewelry: the lid becomes a brooch (with a pin on the back), the wall of the box becomes a bracelet (it unfolds and encircles the wrist), and the base becomes a hand mirror (with an embedded mirror and garnet frame). One object, three transformations. 925 sterling silver, niello hand engraving, 24-karat gold plating, seven garnets. Approx. 180.9 g, 91 × 85 × 52 mm. This is one of a kind.

Three transformations — how Diana works

Transformation 1 — The lid becomes a brooch: The round lid of the casket features a floral niello medallion with a central garnet cabochon (8x6 mm) on the front. On the back is a brooch pin with a clasp. You remove the lid, turn it over — and you have a brooch. The niello ornament that just closed a box now adorns your dress.

Transformation 2 — The wall becomes a bracelet: The cylindrical body of the casket — the wide band with the dense niello ornamentation and garnets — has hinges. You open them, the band unfolds, and you place it around your wrist. The box becomes a bangle. The inside is completely gold-plated — warm on the skin.

Transformation 3 — The base becomes a hand mirror: The underside of the casket has a golden repoussé floral ornament on the outside. On the inside — which you only see when you turn the box over — is a real mirror, framed by a golden rim with four garnet cabochons. The tray of the box becomes a hand mirror.

Assembled — a casket. Disassembled — a jewelry ensemble

That's the genius of Diana: it works in both states. Assembled, it stands on the dressing table as an elegant silver box — with the tray as its base and golden feet. You see a casket, nothing more. Only when you take it apart does its secret reveal itself: three wearable pieces of jewelry that together form a box.

When gifting, this is the ultimate surprise moment: you present a box. The recipient opens it, sees a silver box and thinks "beautiful." Then you show her: "Take off the lid." She turns it over — a brooch. "Open the wall." She unfolds it — a bracelet. "Turn over the base." A mirror. Three surprises in one gift.

The Garnets — seven red dots on silver

Seven garnets are set in Diana: one oval cabochon (8x6 mm) in the center of the lid/brooch, and six smaller cabochons (6x4 mm) distributed on the bracelet and mirror frame. The garnets are dark red — the same red that also adorns the TSAR goblet and the flower vase. On the silver with niello black and 24-karat gold, the red creates the fourth color: silver, black, gold, red. Four materials, one piece.

For whom Diana is intended

The woman who loves surprises: No other gift has three hidden transformations. The casket is the beginning of a story that unfolds during unpacking — piece by piece, transformation by transformation.

Collector of Russian silversmith art: A piece that does not exist in any other manufacture in the world. Niello hand engraving on a transformer object — that's the combination that makes Diana unique.

Silver wedding and anniversary: 925 silver, 24 karat gold, garnets — the materials speak for themselves. The transformation speaks for the occasion: something that changes and yet belongs together. Like a marriage.

Mother's Day and Christmas: The gift that will still be talked about the next day. And the day after. And a year later.
