Handmade in the USA, the Cherry Blossom Jewelry Box is constructed by hand with heirloom-quality hardwoods. The box is constructed of solid natural hardwood cherry with contrasting wenge wood handles. A single specimen of cherry is used to assure perfect color and matching wood grains, while hidden wooden key segments are added to each mitered corner to add strength and durability.

The beautiful cherry blossom design on the lid is achieved by means of marquetry, a masterful technique of assembling thin hardwood segments to form a design. The marquetry design consists of maple, wenge-wood, and bloodwood, framing a lovely lacewood center.

Within the chest, you’ll find 4 rows of felt ring holders, brass necklace pegs (with built-in elastic pouch to protect pendants) and felt-lined rows for watches or bracelets. Two lower drawers provide more storage, each with stops to prevent delicate items from falling out. Within both drawers are divided felt-lined areas for bracelets, brooches and more. The wooden division may be removed for easy cleaning or to make room for larger items. No two people have the same assortment of jewelry items, so the divisions adjusts to fit your personal collection.

Wood details : The box is constructed of natural hand-polished sustainable hardwoods and provided with a premium clear finish to protect against scratches and moisture. All coloring is natural – stains are not used. Natural cherry is native to North America and is a light (almost maple-like) color when new. Cherry will naturally darken over the years to reveal a reddish-brown tint. Wenge is a non-endangered African hardwood with a dark, bold color. Due to the high density and strength of wenge-wood, it is suitable for the handles of this chest. Quilted Maple is a strong hardwood native to North America with a creamy color. The wavy quilted maple originates from Big Leaf Maples that flourish in Oregon.
