Trinket box was first introduced as Limoge in Europe. For over 240 years, royalties all over the world have appreciated Limoges porcelain boxes as a real treasure. Madame de Pompadour, Josephine Empress of France, Alexander Tsar of Russia are just few of prestigious Limoges collectors. The boxes were originally used to send love poems, engagement rings and other special trinkets between lovers and friends.

Now the cost of making porcelain trinket box is low, most of them retail for under $10 each.

Modern collectors have soon found a more valuable and sparkling treasure to collect: trinket box with jewels. Compared to porcelain box, the technique of making bejeweled trinket box is much more complicated. Each trinket box is hand enameled by skillful artisan on a pewter base. It is baked, polished and plated with 24k gold or silver trim and finished with handset genuine Swarovski crystals for a dazzling accent to the enamel. Weight of each trinket box is from 8 oz up to 2 lbs, about 5-10 times heavier than porcelain trinket box.

Prices vary, some pieces offered by designers such as Jay Strongwater, range between $100-$300 per piece. Non brand items retail between $20-$60. Why some are expensive than others?
