The Native Ripple Sycamore jewellery boxes shown above have been created with the following features:

• The external dimensions of 300x200x100mm.  These dimensions can be altered to suit your own requirements.

• A lift out tray.  The standard layout  is for the tray to be split in the middle with a ring run down one side. (The tray sits on steps allowing space underneath for more jewellery).  The tray can also either sit flush with the base (see boxes with blue and red suede lining), or sit slightly raised to allow more space underneath the tray (see boxes with Mulberry lining).  Alterations to the tray can include adding or removing compartments, and/or ring runs and/or earring compartments. You may also wish to consider having more than one tray.  If you want a Box without a tray then the starting price is £250.

• The hardware.  The box is created using either nickel plated or brass quadrant hinges which have a 95 degrees stop enabling the box lid to remain open without any support. It can also be fitted with either a button catch or a lock and key.

• The interior can be lined with a emerald green suede, and a lift out tray lined with the same luxurious material. It can also be finished in a rich red wine suede, royal blue suede, baby blue, baby pink, or mulberry suede as shown above.  If there is a particular colour your are interested in please let us know and we will try to obtain it.  The tray can also be partially lined (base only) or fully lined (including tray sides).

• The box lid banding.  The standard banding is created from our own black and white veneer that goes all around the lid top (as shown in the images above).  We can provide samples of other bandings on request.

• Box Finish.  We provide a Danish Oil finish as standard (see images above) or for the ultimate finish we can offer a traditional French Polish.

• Escutcheon.  If you choose a lock for your box, the area surrounding the key hole is decorated with a cover plate/escutcheon.  The escutcheon can either be created from a choice of wood which sits proud, or from a choice of veneer which is inlaid.

• Personalisation.  A Certificate of Authenticity comes with each  Jewelry Box and can be personalised with about 25 words.  The lid can also be pyrographed (burned) with a name, initials, or other personal text (click here to view image of customer's box lid with message pyrographed in a Freestyle Script font) on request for an additional fee.  

We are happy to discuss tailoring your box by offering a variety of sizes, wood combinations, hardware and interiors.  Please send us details on your choices via email, or telephone us on  +44(0)28 90 836987 to discuss further.

The Personal Touch
If your box is being modified to include such things as initials or different lining we will send digital images via email at each main stage in its creation.   We like to share the excitement, as a box develops, with new owners - it makes everything extra special!

Unique Quality
Since wood is a natural resource, minor colour variations occur in all boxes, making each one unique!

Box Care
To ensure optimum pleasure from your Jewellery Box please clean with a soft dry cloth.  If the exterior surface dulls gradually over time an application of natural wax, that is then buffed with a soft dry cloth, should be sufficient to bring back the sheen.

Perfect for any Occasion
