Beautiful little box

Product picture

Beautifully made box. I wanted a small box that I could place miscellaneous small items in at my desk and this works perfectly. The lid and drawer open and close easily, but the best part is every time I look at it I smile. What's better than seeing a skeleton drinking a bottle of tequila. This is another artist that I plan on following.

Beautiful jewelry box!

This is the first of the jewelry boxes by Ana Maria Gonzalez that I purchased and it is so lovely and well-crafted that I have since purchased three more pieces of her work. I have been eyeing a piece which I hope becomes available again because I'd dearly like to add it to my collection. Thank you for your talent and artistry.

Beautiful design and craftsmanship

Product picture

I love this box. It is absolutely beautiful and the workmanship is excellent. Both the drawer and the hinged lid function smoothly and without any "hangups." The colors are exquisite. The design references traditional motifs, but with a contemporary look. I ordered a second one for my daughter-in-law.

Spotlight on Jewelry Boxes

Throughout history, prized possessions and personal treasures have been kept in special chests and coffers. Caskets, small boxes and even baskets have been used. Pompeian wall paintings show large wooden chests with clawed feet for money and clothing. Roman treasure chests were usually strengthened with metal and closed with locks. From the French Renaissance to the late 19th century, Limoge jewelry boxes were exchanged by sweethearts as a token of their affection. By the early 1900s, trinket boxes and jewel caskets often depicted cherubs and angels as a symbol of love. Some classic jewelry boxes include a music box and ballerinas who twirl in front of the mirror inside the lid. In West Africa, heirloom beads are often kept in a wooden jewelry box and passed down from mother to daughter. Petit armoires with drawers and doors have long been popular, as have carved wood jewelry boxes. Tooled leather is popular with men while carved marble makes a regal home for personal treasures. Baskets with lids, ceramic boxes, hand-painted chests and beaded boxes can also be as beautiful as the jewelry they hold.
