A rectangular cigarette box in polished yellow gold features a vaulted lid and rounded corners. Two vertical bands of shimmering diamonds encircle the box near either end, creating brilliant borders against the lustrous metal. A third, slender strip of diamonds is inset along the center of the front edge. The gleaming gold surface reflects its surroundings, highlighting the rhythmic placement of gemstones and the object's sleek geometry.
