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 three compartments. Beneath is a drawer.

"Beautifully Crafted"
I love this jewelry box! It is so unique, & colorful. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars, it was a tiny bit wobbly. I put some felt dots, on the bottom corners, & the problem is solved. Very beautiful.

"My second purchase from this artisan"
I purchased this box for my daughter-in-law after buying a similar one for myself. As with the first purchase, it is really beautiful and the craftsmanship is excellent. I love Ms. Gonzalezs work -- she is a true artist.

"A lovely piece!"
I have a collection of gorgeous, small boxes of many different kinds, materials and finishes. This beauty caught my eye immediately and is a wonderful addition to my collection. It is unique from any of the others and is so lovely on its own. I will put some of my newly acquired Novica pieces of jewelry in it as I have it in a location which is convenient for that use and perfect to keep it safe. This is my first piece from Ana Maria, but I am so pleased that I will be reviewing her collection for other lovely pieces for both myself and my lucky gift recipients! Thanks Ana Maria and Novica!! I highly recommend this and believe you will be as pleased as I am with Ana Marias work!

"As a cat lover, and collector of things Mexican, I truely love this item"
This little treasure is good for keeping my jewelry, but it is also an asset to my Mexican room, my second bedroom. I love the way the cats are depicted and worked into the art. I will enjoy keeping my jewelry in this beautiful piece which all can admire.
