The interior of this beautiful jewelry box has ample space for earrings, cuff links, necklaces, bracelets and watches. The one tray has eight padded inserts, each of which can accommodate two rings, earrings, or cuff links.

This box was made from dark Roasted Curly Maple. The centre of the top is Maple burl, framed by bands of dark Roasted Curly Maple, each separated and defined by strips of black veneer.

Except for black veneer, no stains or dyes have been used. The rich colours that you see are the natural colours of the finished woods.

This construction not only makes the interior of the top as attractive as the exterior, but also prevents warping of the top.
