Details

In 1863, Napoleon intervened in Mexico and the defeat of the French troops in Puebla is the reason behind the 5 de Mayo celebrations. Yet the French influence lives on, and Avenida Reforma in Mexico City was modeled after the Champs-Élysées in Paris. Handcrafted by Ana Maria Gonzalez, this decoupage jewelry box depicts scenes from France. The lid opens to reveal a large compartment, a pop-up tray and a convenient mirror. Beneath is a drawer.

"Absolutely beautiful!"

I bought a similar jewelry box from this artist for a friend a couple years ago and finally got one for myself! Actually I got two. They are absolutely beautiful and inspiring. I just have to find an honorable place to put them!
