Jewelry Boxes

The Story Behind the Pieces

Jewelry boxes are more than functional They are also keepers of the personal. They might hold a dazzling ring from a loved one, or a child’s tooth found under a pillow. Ultimately, they are vessels for treasured memories. I set out to build boxes entirely worthy of those memories—gorgeous, heirloom-quality art pieces designed to bring joy to their owners for generations.

The pictures and videos here show two unique jewelry boxes.  Both custom pieces share a parallel design philosophy, structural integrity, and premium materials.

The Antique Engravings & Artistry

Both boxes feature removable lids built around rare, hand-engraved glass bevels:

• One box features a multi-phased sandblasted engraving designed by Judith E. James, an acclaimed American artist working in the 1970s and early 1980s. The composition offers stunning three-dimensional depth and fine, crisp detail.

• The second box features a floral engraving salvaged from a broken antique chandelier. The delicate flowers were likely ground into the glass using a traditional spinning stone wheel—a brilliant artisan technique prominent between 1876 and 1916.
