A plump, charming nesting hen rendered in warm peach and ivory enamel with hand-painted floral accents — this small jeweled trinket box is equal parts sculpture and keepsake. Standing just under 2 inches tall, she’s a study in detail: a gilded beak, crystal eyes, white blossom motifs along her breast, and a fan-shaped tail trimmed with individually set rhinestones.
The hinged body opens smoothly to reveal a bright gold-lacquered interior with a magnetic closure that holds snugly shut. Tuck a ring, a stud earring, a lucky charm, or a heartfelt note inside — this little hen will keep it safe.
Pieces in this style follow a decorative tradition that flourished in the 1990s and 2000s, when artisans combined cloisonné-inspired hand enameling with faceted crystal inlay to create Fabergé-influenced collectible figurines — drawing on 19th-century European fancy goods and popularized by collectible gift brands for their blend of warmth, color, and sparkle. This example is in excellent condition with seemingly all crystals present and no enamel loss.

• Approx. 2” H × 2” W × 1.5” D
