Description
This jewellery box is a handmade piece, made of wood, veneered and edged with holywood. The side surfaces and the lid are decorated with boxwood fillets. Due to the proportions of the piece and the decorations, associated with the frequencies of musical notes, the author called it "Harmonia" (Harmony).
Geometrically it consists of two parts, the storage compartment and the lid. Together they correspond to a rectangular parallelepiped (hollow) and sectioned by a plane parallel to the bases, which defines the lid and the compartment. Between the compartment and the lid there is a pair of hinges, which allow the jewellery box to be opened up to 180°. It should be noted that these fittings were also manufactured by the author.

Internal Notes
Este guarda-jóias foi construído na década dos anos 90, do século 20, com madeiras nobres, em que o pau-santo predomina, é decorada com filetes de buxo e orlada a pau-santo. Devido à  beleza e harmonia do desenho gráfico, o autor designou-a por "Harmonia". A peça é essencialmente decorativa, no entanto, o seu cariz é utilitário, servindo portanto, como guarda-joias. O guarda-joias "Harmonia" faz parte integrante da coleção dos 81 guarda-joias, doada à Universidade de Aveiro pelo Sr. Eng.º Joaquim Domingos Capela em Dezembro de 2013.
