  Jewelery is popular as a special gift for men and women, and in many cases, it is presented as a gift in the jewelry case at the time of purchase. However, although the above-mentioned conventional jewelry cases have a high-class feeling, all the jewelry cases have the same design as a “velvety box”, and the impact received by the presenting party was extremely weak. In particular, the design of the “velvety box” has been used for too long, and the recipient is just looking at the jewelry case and knowing that the contents are jewelry. As a result, there was a problem of lack of surprise.

  Therefore, in order to discover novel jewelry cases that have been filed in the past, the present applicant, using “patent classification search” of the Japan Patent Office Electronic Library (IPDL) on August 9, 2013, applied for international patent classification.
