handmade wooden jewelry boxes

By Antonio Rojas, this classic jewellery box takes the shape of a heart. He crafts the piece of cedar wood and covers it with hand-painted motifs reminiscent of a Victorian Valentine. Applications of gilt enhance the charming design.

Felicita Espinoza shares the beauty of traditional Peruvian architecture with hand-painted detail. The scene involves women huddled together spinning wool, while two walk home. Espinoza paints the scene on the reverse side of the glass panes decorating this wood jewelry box.

Painted by hand on the reverse side of glass panes, orchids exhibit an extraordinary clarity. Felicita Espinoza inlays the paintings on a jewelry box with gilded borders.

This hand-crafted jewellery box resembling a typical Colonial chest can be used to store jewels and other small items, as an organiser or to keep safe your most precious belongings as it can be locked with a key. Featuring ornate bronze handles on each side, the fabulous box designed by Peru's Julio Sanchez is handmade from mohena and cedar wood with leaf motifs worked on exquisitely tooled leather.
