A miniature, high-intensity lamp bulb is mounted at the inner surface of the top section. A power source is contained under the jewelry support pad located in the bottom section. An electric switch is incorporated into the hinge about which the top section pivots relative to the bottom section. The switch automatically closes the electrical circuit between the power source and the light source when the box is opened.
