Abstract: A jewellery box for storing a piece of jewellery formed of two box halves positioned against one another with their open sides and which are connected to one another by means of a hinge at one of their connecting edges is presented. A presentation plate is provided in the space inside the box on whose top side the piece of jewellery can be placed, and which is made in such a way that the piece of jewellery on the presentation plate, when the jewellery box is opened around the above-mentioned hinge, automatically comes out so as to present the piece of jewellery.
