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 very dramatic Curly Maple with legs of Black Limba. Accents on the top are provided by bands of Black Limba and Roasted Maple, separated and defined by 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.
