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.
Reminiscent of the Regency style, the Mele & Co. Leigh jewelry box offers superb storage with neoclassical nonchalance. Its gracefully rounded profile, four drawers, and vibrant burlwood finish make a splendid statement.
Exclusively at Unforgettable, engrave directly into the wood lid to make this a treasured gift for mom, brides, holidays, birthdays and more.
