I bought a few of these because I thought people might decorate the tops of them. In the photos you see I put some samples of things on the lid. Just set there, you would probably want to put the stone or cameo in a bezel or dress it up a bit but I think it could work as a nice personalized item that is not jewelry. The boxes are pretty nice actually, seem well made. These are metal boxes, comes with the two compartments and the mirror. The bottom of the box has sort of a brushed pattern to it.
