This shows the jewelry box open,with the bracelet drawer pulled out. As it is pulled out,a brass tab in the back engages a pin sticking down from the top,which makes the bracelet holder rise up. The holder is the same size as my wife's wrist. It has some bracelets on it,like the ivory one,and some damascus steel ones I also made for her.

The front of the bracelet drawer is a brass framed mirror,with little brass winglets,in 3 pat design,to act as pulls. It is lined in blue velvet,as are all the drawers.

There are beads hanging in the tall doors,and earrings in the shorter doors.

The bracelet drawer is flanked by stained glass work,with textured lead dividers.

You can see the ball catches at the bottom,that click into the doors,keeping them closed.Just visible is one of the drawer pulls.If you look closely,down at the center of the spiral below,you can se one of the 3 brass caps that screw to the front to back iron members,and are also a 3 part "stack".
