A classic Mele hard-shell clamshell travel jewelry case from the 1970s. The ivory/cream exterior features a delicate embossed floral motif, and the case opens on a hinge to reveal a warm gold velvet interior with individual compartments for rings, earrings, and small jewelry. Mele & Co. (founded 1912, Attleboro, Massachusetts) was one of America's most iconic mid-century jewelry box manufacturers, and their travel cases from this era are widely collected for their quality and period charm.
