Each box is formed in a distinct geometric shape, including a circle, square, and triangle, creating a cohesive yet visually varied set. Pieces of this type are often referred to as jewelry caskets or pill boxes and were designed to be both functional and decorative.

The boxes are crafted from mixed metals, typically a brass base with a silver-toned finish or plating, and are set with cabochon-style semi-precious stones such as agate, carnelian, jade, or quartz. Items like these are generally considered vintage and are often dated to the mid-20th century, approximately the 1930s through 1960s. They were traditionally used to store small valuables or keepsakes and remain well-suited as decorative accent pieces for a vanity, desk, or shelf. See less
