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.
Not to be overlooked, the Mele & Co. Morgan jewelry box may be small in size, but its sleek styling, compact footprint, and luxurious ivory lining offer more than meets the eye.
The Morgan may be engraved directly on the wood lid, and/or on a gold tone plate fixed to the surface. Please indicate your engraving selection in the "Note to Engraver" field. For example, please engrave the name directly on the wood lid and "Love, Dad" on the gold plate and fix it to the front of the box.
