THE FULL COLLECTION

Jewels beyond the Jewelry Box

Not every gem needs to be worn. Each raw material is turned by hand, and no two are alike. Luxury lives in the details that you choose to surround yourself with.

The Full Collection


Each piece is carved by hand, shaped from real semi-precious stone and Peruvian wood, designed to live beautifully on a vanity, nightstand or desk.

Semi-precious gemstone

Each piece is carved from authentic Andean stone – Angelite, Serpentine, Black Onyx – all sourced from the Andean mountains of Perú.

Carved using heritage stone and woodworking methods in Pacasmayo & Magdalena de Cao, traditions sustained by artisan families over generations.

The gift that gets remembered

The cone, the oval, the pyramid and the cloud container have all appeared in multiple holiday and special occasion gift guides – and it’s easy to see why. Something hand-carved from a real gemstone says more than most things wrapped in a box.

FAQ

What can I store inside?

Rings, necklaces, earrings, and small valuables. Some people love using the jewel boxes as part of their morning vitamin routine, or to store their favorite sweets if everyone wants to play.

Is it durable?


The jewel box is made with a handle of solid Angelite stone and each base plus handle are made from a solid piece of wood. The stone could crack if dropped, so avoid doing that. The handle is securely attached to the body, though should it drop and you need to adjust it, a strong ceramic strength glue should do the trick.

Is this a good gift?

This is a great gift! It’s designed to bring a smile to the giftee's face when they pick up the lovely handle as part of their daily routine. Definitely can create a memorable gifting experience.

What makes it different from other jewelry boxes?

It is unusual to mix stone and wood in a functional object, and we love that juxtaposition. Its solid stone construction and distinctive opening design make it both a functional item and a modern decorative piece. As the opening is midway up the body, the design is prioritized to create a clean shape divided in half at each open. This box is a delight to include anywhere in the home, not just a vanity, as many a coffee table, bathroom vanity and desktop have been adorned by these delightful little storage boxes.

Every piece is one of a kind

Natural stone means natural variation – your Jewel Box will never look exactly like anyone else’s. That’s the point.
