Keep your precious jewellery safe in this luxe box from Agresti, available at Lane Crawford.

I have my jewellery scattered between bowls and drawers. I’d finally like to get it organised. Can you recommend a nice box that might fit it all nicely and look good on the dresser?

The Dictator rules: Hold on, exactly what kind of jewellery are we talking about? If it’s anything of consequence, you really should have a safe. They are not terribly difficult to source. Even Wing On sells them. Now, to answer your question, yes, there are lots of decorative boxes ideal for storing trinkets that you might like.
