My Grandmother's Mele Jewelry Box

These are some pictures of my grandmother’s Mele jewelry box. She passed away 16 years ago at the age of 92. Grandma Bea loved to get all dressed up and show off these beautiful pieces. I still remember her wearing most of them and every time I open the box, I’m filled with memories of weddings, graduations, and holiday parties. She used to work for Mele probably 60 years ago, which is probably partly the reason she had this jewelry box. The jewelry is costume and not of any great value, but the sentimental value is priceless.
