creative gifts for her

Inspired by Persia's beautiful carpets, Mohammad Hussain Baba creates a petite jewelry box for personal treasures. He works in the style of Kashmir, crafting the container of weeping willow wood. He then covers it with papier mache in an art form that originated in Persia in the 15th century and paints the intricate images by hand. They are protected with a coat of lacquer, and the box is lined with black velvet.

Bouquets of miniscule flowers gracefully pose on the smooth surface of this jewelry box, their beauty intended to hide valued treasures. Carved with the vast elegance of a true artist, M. Ayub creates this extraordinary jewelry box from Kashmiri walnut wood. The box opens up to two compartments lined with soft velvet, one designed for rings. The top section can be lifted to reveal another compartment. The box features a secret locking mechanism and can be opened by sliding the lower front panel of the box to the right side.

Peru's Ortiz Family works in the time-honored art form of reverse-painted glass to create this small but beautiful jewelry chest. Featuring two drawers and an upper compartment with a mirror, the wooden chest is covered with glass panes that have been painted on their reverse sides with detailed motifs in subtle shades of lilac, mauve and buff. Gleaming gold paint is applied to the trim.

Throughout its history, Peru has received influence from different cultures, creating unique art styles that evoke the glory of the ancient Empire. This time, artisan Julio Sanchez uses mohena wood, MDF and leather to craft a gorgeous jewellery box featuring baroque motifs characteristic of the viceroyalty era. The artwork comes with embossed floral and leafy details in a brown tone and has three removable drawers for storing your most cherished jewels. Furthermore, the top hides a secret compartment equipped with a mirror, adding a handy touch to the piece.
