Mele was founded in 1912 when Italian immigrant Emidio Mele and his wife opened a shop on New York City's Mulberry Street. There Emidio focused on designing and building elegant jewelry displays for stores and eventually cases for home storage. It was not long before Emidio's designs and craftsmanship attracted customers from the city's historic Fifth Avenue.
Emidio's sons took the business further, introducing the iconic musical jewelry box, the timeless twirling ballerina style, and earning the moniker "The Foremost Name in Jewel Cases."
Now in the third generation of family ownership and over 100 years in business, Mele & Co. continues to infuse the heritage of family into each jewelry box and to offer innovative and timeless designs for years of happiness and sentimental memories.
With a gorgeous java finish and graceful proportions, the Mele & Co. Layla jewelry box is a towering example of organizational style. Featuring dual necklace doors, a fold up mirror, five open drawers, and one ring roll drawer, this upright jewelry chest is a vibrant and versatile storage solution.
