Crafted by hand, this jewelry box by Julio Sanchez is a superb example of a traditional Peruvian art. He works in mohena wood, a fine hardwood whose grain is similar to mahogany. Beautifully tooled leather depicts colonial art motifs, and the locking chest has ornate bronze handles on each side.

Beautifully carved! Only complaint is the box is not totally level. It wobbles a bit unless I put something under one corner.

This was absolutely beautiful! It was well tooled, well crafted, and the wood has a beautiful grain that doesnt show well in the picture. In other words, the photo doesnt do it justice. The only detractor is the lock which is a bit dinky but it works. The person who made this is skilled and meticulous. Bravo!

This hand made item is everything you would hope it to be. It is beautifully made by a true artisan. The detail and workmanship is impressive. We cant stop looking at it. It is a work of art. I couldnt be happier with this purchase. My gratitude to Julio for his skills in making this lovely piece and to Novica for giving me the opportunity to bring it into my home.

I used to have another leather box that was a gift. This was spoiling myself! It is so beautiful that I will be back to buy a jewelry box from the artist. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely work through Novica!

I bought this jewelry box as a gift for my daughter-in-law and she loved it, especially the nice detail work on the box. Can never go wrong with work done by Julio.

That oughta tell you how much I liked this box! Mr. Sanchez is a gifted artiste. Other sellers are also gifted, but what I really like about Mr. Sanchez is that he doesnt charge as much as he could; his products are that good. The workmanship is outstanding, and these jewelry boxes are bigger than most others. Theres nothing wrong with the other boxes here, but la Jefa (my wife) likes the extra space. (Happy wife happy life — gnome sane?) This is the 4th box Ive ordered from Mr. Sanchez, and Im happy with every one of them. They make great gifts that look more expensive than they are. And now theyre as cheap as a tank of gas. Theyre even less if you drive an RV — and one of these babies will last you a LOT longer than that fill up! So, what are you waiting for? Treat someone... or even yourself!

I had been eyeing this box for a couple of years but I was hesitant because it was as overseas and I was worried about the shipping! But it got here super quick and my box is just stunning, I love it! Thank you
