A small decorative box or casket, especially one used to hold jewelry, cosmetics, or other precious items.
From Old French 'cofret', a diminutive of 'cofre' meaning chest or coffer, ultimately from Latin 'cophinus' (basket). The word traveled through Norman French into English with its meaning of small, ornamental container.
Coffret is the elegant French cousin of the English 'coffer'—luxury brands still use this exact word for their high-end jewelry boxes, proving that sometimes 800-year-old words are just too perfect to replace.
