Skull Boxes & Tins

Cold-cast resin, bowls and licensed designs

The category covers far more than classic jewellery boxes. The core consists of hinged skull trinket boxes in hand-painted cold-cast resin – with the skull forming either the entire body of the box or seated as a figurine on the lid. Alongside these come open skull bowls, which work as storage trays, serving bowls or pure decorative objects, as well as specialised forms such as tarot boxes sized to card sets, hinged incense stick holders and plant pots with drainage hole for actual planting.

Stylistically the range is unusually broad. Classic gothic models in bone or black sit alongside colourful Sugar Skull and Day of the Dead designs, bronzed steampunk executions and Norse Viking skulls. For anyone preferring licensed pieces, officially licensed boxes from bands such as Metallica and Slayer alongside merchandise from film and manga universes round out the range. The price spectrum runs from accessible entry models through to elaborately worked steampunk jewellery boxes at the upper end. Almost every model is crafted from cold-cast resin (polyresin), hand-painted – one model is crafted in ceramic.

Anyone wanting to extend the skull theme further will find Skull Figurines, Skull Wall Decor and Coffin Boxes in the wider shop.

Frequently asked questions about skull trinket boxes

What are skull trinket boxes used for?

Depending on model, for jewellery, tarot cards, desk accessories, sweets or incense sticks. Some models are usable as plant pots, others work purely as a decorative bowl or storage tray.

What's the difference between a skull bowl and a skull trinket box?

Bowls are open and without a lid – they serve as storage trays, serving bowls or decorative objects. Boxes and tins are closed and offer more protection for the contents, particularly useful for smaller jewellery items or anything that benefits from being kept covered.

Which skull trinket boxes work as a gift for gothic fans?

Models supplied with gift packaging work particularly well as gifts – including licensed pieces by Metallica or Nemesis Now. For anyone after something more personal, steampunk jewellery boxes, Sugar Skull designs or Viking skull models offer striking standalone pieces that lift well above generic gift ideas.
