They don't make them like this anymore. This fantastic maroon-red jewelry box is the most expandable, ingenious design I've ever seen. With 9 compartments that fold into one another, there is a spot for everything, and everything is secure.
The right side features six rows for rings, four mini square compartments, one larger square, and two rectangle compartments. The left side features three big open compartments, and six more ring rows.
The interior is lined in velvety felt, and the exterior is plastic. It also has a locking clasp and a back handle for easy transportation. It also has a mirror, and a massive, deep middle interior compartment. This piece will hold A LOT.
Condition: Overall great. Locking mechanism works perfect, no tightness in the hinges across compartments. Surface scuffs show in direct sunlight. It was super clean when I got it and I barely had to touch it.
Makers Mark: Right edge in gold lettering, "The Jewel Kit". On bottom, raised lettering, "The Jewel Kit is Proudly Made in USA by Ingenious Designs Inc Patented Worldwide".

Everything from My Home on Mars has been professionally cleaned and restored, and ships with a care sheet specific to the material and time period of each piece. Most things require no special maintenance, but a simple list of "do's and don'ts" ensures your item maintains its condition for years to come.
In addition to being a vintage dealer, I am a USPAP-compliant personal property appraiser. Part of that job, separate from this one, is determining the value and authenticity of every piece I examine. I'm proud to bring that high standard of ethics, expertise, and research skills to My Home on Mars, allowing peace of mind for all my customers.
