History: Mele was founded 1912 by Emidio Mele, a designer and builder of window displays who began creating gift boxes for jewelry items. The business grew and survived the Great Depression by building the boxes that held the Purple Hearts awarded during the war. During the 1940' s the company prospered after introducing a jewelry box with an automatic tray that rose when you lifted the lid. In 1948 Life Magazine noted it as one of the top 10 best selling holiday gifts. A children's box with a spinning ballerina was an instant success. Remember your very first jewelry box? It probably had a ballerina that twirled to a musical tune. By the 1950's, Mele had experienced spectacular growth and had become a household name.
Today: Mele introduces over 75 favorite jewelry box styles in their women's, men's, children's and travel cases in two seasonal collections each year. Expect quality craftsmanship & classic style when you purchase a Mele jewel case.
