Beautiful :)
Color: Cream, Size: 2-Layer
I’m really happy that I was able to get a product like this at this price. It can store more rings, bracelets, and earrings than I expected. Most of all, the design is beautiful, so it also works as a decorative piece when placed on a vanity. It makes it very convenient to take out and use my jewelry.

Simple, Functional, and Adorable Jewelry Box
Color: Cream, Size: 2-Layer, Color: Cream, Size: 2-Layer
Cute and practical organizer with good space for everyday jewelry. Quality is good for everyday use, though the closure isn’t very tight, so it’s best for smaller collections. Great option if you don’t have a large jewelry collection. Overall, it’s a solid choice for keeping things organized.

Really nice box
Color: Cream, Size: 2-Layer
This actually is a very nice box. It is sturdy enough for constant handling. It does not hold a lot of pieces but I knew that. This is for someone that needs to store a small amount of jewelry. I like the sides that open and the bottom storage, it is big enough to hold small boxed with earrings in it. The cover is very pretty with the padded look, it opens and closes very easy. One thing to keep in mind that the pull out erring holder is just covered cardboard, don't bend it. All in all I am very happy with this box so far it is doing what I need it to do, hold my spare jewelry.
