Keren Kopal
Green Frog on Bamboo Trinket Box
This item is part of the Frog Trinket Box Series and part of the Keren Kopal collection.
This exquisite trinket box features a vibrant green frog realistically posed as if climbing a stalk of bamboo. The piece is finished in a marbled, translucent green and cream enamel with high-shine gold-plated accents along the edges and bamboo joints. The frog is detailed with bright green crystal eyes, and its feet are meticulously set with smaller light green crystals that sparkle against the golden bamboo stalk. The item functions as a hinged box, opening at the frog's back with a secure magnetic closure to reveal a gold-stamped Keren Kopal insignia inside.
As a functional work of art, this piece serves as both a sophisticated decor item and a safe harbor for small jewelry or keepsakes. Its vertical orientation and intricate detailing make it a standout addition to a vanity, bookshelf, or curated collection of animal-themed miniatures. The blend of naturalistic forest themes with the elegance of the Faberge style ensures it complements both modern and classic interior aesthetics.
