The nacre shifts through cream, blush pink, soft green, and iridescent violet depending on the light, and no two angles read the same. A small domed nacre button graces the front of the body as the decorative escutcheon, and the box is raised on four original brass ball feet, well-patinated with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe interior is lined in a sage green watered silk — the colour perfectly chosen to set off the lustre of the nacre without competing with it.

Alexandrite opaline is prized for its enchanting colour-shift quality — the glass appears a soft, dreamy lilac in cool light and takes on warmer, more rose-tinged tones in incandescent light, a phenomenon caused by the rare earth elements used in its production. The body and lid are formed from thick, smooth opaline glass with gently rounded edges, and the lid is framed in a crisp rectangular brass surround that reflects light beautifully.

The combination of Alexandrite opaline glass with polished brass mounts represents the top tier of the form — the glass is rarer and more expensive to produce than standard white or colored opaline, and the quality of the brass hardware on this example is exceptional. It sits beautifully on a vanity, dressing table, or writing desk, equally useful for jewelry, keepsakes, or decorative display on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCondition is perfect — no chips, cracks, scratches, or losses to the glass, and the brass retains its bright polish.
