While modestly sized, this meticulously handcrafted jewelry box has ample space for a small collection of jewelry and personal memorabilia. There are two rows of padded inserts in the tray for rings, cuff links and earrings.

This box is made from Cherry with legs of Roasted Curly Maple. Accents on the top are provided by bands of Cherry and Roasted Curly Maple, separated and defined by Bubinga veneer.

No stains or dyes have been used. The rich colours that you see are the natural colours of the finished woods.
