Product Description
Fine Indian jewelry will, of course, need to be nestled on equally beautiful cases. A traditional yet always charming way to treasure those jewelry pieces is through jewelry boxes. These wooden Indian jewelry boxes are designed and made by the same hands of highly skilled craftsmen who are constantly acclaimed for their intricate designs and woodwork used for the printing of Indian sarees, which are garments worn around the waist.
The process of carving the wooden blocks for the art of the handblock printer is, indeed, a special skill. Most artisans, who design and construct these blocks for printers, are keen carvers as well. They have mastered the art of carving and the use of brass and wood in order to fashion the wooden blocks and to print lines and motifs.
There is a small town situated near Delhi, called Pulkhua, which pays tribute to the rich and dynamic culture of its region by using local wood for its products, be it door knobs, wooden blocks, tabletop accessories, lampshades, doorways, and even murals. Not only do these artists carve the wood into intricate and almost lifelike floral patterns, or even edgy geometric designs, but they also chisel finer patterns which are inlaid with some brass wire. They may also inlay the carved wood with bone chips and white metal for a more ethnic look.
Therefore, a lot of work goes into these beautiful jewelry boxes. They are to be treasured just as much as the gems and stones they keep.

Not the product pictured,

This review is from: Handcrafted Jewelry Boxes and Armoirese Wood Carving (Jewelry)
The picture & description of this jewelry box sounded nice, but what I received was quite different. Instead of a nicely crafted box with inlaid flowers or engravings, I got a basic wood box that was put together with glue and nails, and with a single brass pentacle on the cover. Cheap, and disappointing. I've returned it and will find something nicer in a store where I can inspect the workmanship and know what I'm receiving.

When I saw the box in front of me, I could not comprehend what my eyes were telling me. Besides of its beauty it radiated the love the craftsman had put into his work.I am a craftsman myself and humbly bow to the master.
This product was a demonstration of extraordinary design and outstanding craftsmanship. The perfect gift for anyone with a taste for excellence.

I bought this as a wedding gift for my cousin and she called me to let me know how well made this box was. She really liked it.
