Nikky Silver-Tone Cross Trinket Box Covered in Faux Pearls, Rhinestones and Ivory Enamel, N Crest Mark

Quick identification

This is a Nikky jeweled trinket box shaped like a Latin cross, in silver-tone cast metal with a lift-off lid. The openwork lid is covered edge to edge with bezel-set faux pearls (round and oval, one large pearl at the crossing), clear rhinestones in several sizes, and domed ivory enamel bosses each set with a tiny rhinestone. Cream enamel lines the inside. Underneath is a radiating sunburst with a crest at the center: a shield holding a capital N between scrolls, over a banner reading NIKKY. Nikky Home sells similar jeweled pewter boxes, and identical Nikky cross boxes appear in listings.

Detailed visual description

Silver cross box crowded with pearls and rhinestones

The Nikky pearl and rhinestone cross trinket box is a small jeweled box in the shape of a Latin cross, with a longer lower arm, made of cast metal plated silver-tone (a soft, slightly warm silver). Two parts make up the box: a shallow cross-shaped base with straight walls and a matching lift-off lid that sits on top. Both pieces are lined inside with cream enamel (a pale yellowish ivory).

The lid is an openwork metal grid set with stones over its whole top surface. At the center of the cross sits the largest piece, a big round faux pearl. Around it are smaller round and oval faux pearls in white (a creamy pearl white) set in raised bezels, clear rhinestones in round collet settings from tiny to about pearl size, and small domed bosses enameled ivory (a warm cream) with a single tiny rhinestone set in the center of each. Packed tightly with small gaps between them, the stones let light show through the lid. Each arm ends in a square cut. Underneath, the lid is cream enamel with the openings showing through.

Turned over, the base is plain silver-tone metal cast with fine lines radiating out from the center like a sunburst, running the full length of every arm. At the center is the maker's crest in raised relief: a shield shape holding a tall serif capital N, flanked by curled scrolls on each side, sitting above a curved banner or cartouche with NIKKY in small block capitals.

On this copy: about the length of an adult palm, not measured. The pearl coating has flaked on the large center pearl and on several smaller pearls, showing the white bead underneath. At least three of the enamel bosses are missing their tiny center rhinestones, leaving empty holes. In places the ivory enamel is yellowed and grimy, the cream lining of the base has dark stains and smudges, and the silver-tone plating is worn on edges, with lint caught between the stones.

Questions

About the Nikky Pearl and Rhinestone Cross Trinket Box

What does the N crest on the bottom of my trinket box mean?

A shield with a capital N between scrolls above a banner reading NIKKY is the mark of Nikky, a maker of jeweled pewter trinket boxes now sold as Nikky Home.

How do I identify a Nikky cross trinket box?

Look for a cross-shaped box with a lift-off lid packed with faux pearls, clear rhinestones and ivory enamel dots, a cream enamel lining, and a sunburst underside with the N crest and NIKKY at the center.

Is a Nikky trinket box vintage?

Not necessarily. Nikky Home is a current brand, and the box carries no date, so its age cannot be told from the mark alone.

Is my Nikky trinket box valuable?

It is a decorative gift piece rather than fine jewelry; the pearls are faux and the stones are rhinestones. Missing stones and flaked pearls lower its appeal to buyers.
