The centre of the lid is enamelled in a translucent royal blue over radiating lines of engine turned engraving. Inlaid into the enamel is a hexagonal pattern of yellow gold trefoils and red gold dots. In the centre of each hexagon is set a small diamond. Outside the blue enamelled plaque is a chased gold border comprising a band of white enamelled dots and a band of green enamelled leaves. Set on the leaves are twelve small diamonds; a pair at the front, back and each side, and one between. The recessed base is decorated similarly to the lid, but instead of diamonds in the central panel each hexagon contains a green enamelled quatrefoil, and instead of diamonds on the border of leaves are pairs (one large and one small) of opals (or beads of opalescent glass) and small saphire (or blue enamel) quatrefoils. The sides have four similar blue enamelled panels between borders and pillars of leaves, small opals and blue quatrefoils. With original fitted case (A). (Eight small opals or beads of opalescent glass are missing.)
