So beautiful!

It's just what I wanted: a pretty box to put little things in like keys, paper clips, a small screwdriver, etc. It is so lovely, and solid!

Beautiful Jewelry Bag

Product picture

I've carried a jewelry bag for years that has finally fallen apart. When I saw this one, I knew I had to have it because it's constructed exactly like the one I had, and it's way prettier. I love the fabric and it has plenty of pockets for keeping items separated and safely stowed. It seems to be very well made. I was surprised to find an additional zipper at the very top that opens up a compartment that's the entire length of the bag--this is an excellent place to tuck a light scarf or delicate hosiery to protect them from damage in a suitcase or travel bag. I would seriously consider buying this as a gift for anyone else who travels or for someone like a crafter or knitter who might need to carry small items in a larger bag--this would be excellent for keeping stitch markers, measuring tapes, small scissors, tapestry needles or other crafting sundries under control.

A truly exquisite petite jewelry box

Product picture

The web site photo just does not do justice to this exceptional piece. It is a treasure within which I store some of my small jewelry treasures. I have several hand carved jewelry boxes. Although this one is the smallest, it is by far the most beautiful!

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.
