This precious red lady bug trinket box is cast from pewter which makes it rather heavy for its size. It is hand-painted with a thick-enamel like paint that Russian crafts are famous for. The box is decorated with Swarovski Crystals. These crystals were hand-inspected, and hand-placed by skilled artisans. The box opens and closes with the help of a magnetic clasp. This clasp allows it to open easily, yet close firmly. This charming and unique ladybug arrives complete with a gift box.
