A ring dish or a jewelry tray is a must for every woman because most of us have a lot of jewelry. Make a nice gift for Mother’s Day using a plain ring dish and colorful nail polishes to add a trendy marble effect to the dishes. Add a gold edge and some hearts, quotes or your mom’s name with a marker. Voila!

What I love about this jewelry dish is that it’s stylish and very functional: it can accommodate much jewelry. A usual wooden dish got suede cord handles and a gild stripe for an accent and such a dish will be an amazing idea as a catch-all dish, too. A perfect piece for a boho chic interior!
