LOVE MY BOX!

The only thing I would like different from this box is that is was bigger. I absolutely LOVE my box. I actually got the box to store my essential oils, for which it is perfect. The only thing I would like different from this box is that is was bigger so I could fit more. The art is amazing. I love the colors and the inside is perfect as well. The artist has done an Amazing job! I would definitely purchase from them again in the future!

A Gift Sent with Pride

Product picture

Ms. Gonzalez is a true artisan. Based on my past experiences with Novica, I had a great deal of confidence sending this gift, unseen, to a dear family member. I was not disappointed. I will certainly purchase additional gifts from this artisan. Thank you, Ana Maria.

Love At First Sight!

Product picture

It's amazing how a piece of clay can be transformed into heirloom. The unpainted clay surfaces reveal a creamy white clay that must be unique to the artist's region. The swirling painted design is bold & elegant. The beading outlining the design gives it depth and nice texture. The glaze makes the colors vibrant. The box was shipped promptly. It was carefully packaged. Sheets of paper were expertly molded to the shape of the box to pad it for shipping. It was fun unrolling everything to discover my "prize". Please continue this design in other products in your line. I hope you restock the wall cross! I highly recommend this seller and would gladly be a repeat customer.

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.
