This great little box is made of sterling silver and an earring I found in my studio.

I was making a triangular box and found an earring that looked like an eye, so I took the earring apart and used them together to make “The Eye of Providence”.

The eye is made of sterling silver, resin and I believe a black onyx bead – a found object. It is attached to the box using a fine silver bezel.

The rest of the box is sterling silver.

I scratched the top of the box to represent sunbeams radiating from the eye.

The surface of the box is a sandpaper finish except for the bottom.

The top and bottom of the box form a tight pressure fit seal.

The box measures, not including the eye:

Height: 0.75 inch 19.05 mm
Width: 2 inch 50.8 mm
Depth: 1 inch 25.4mm

I work with Harmony recycled metals – all metals have been reclaimed.

A unique art metal box. I love the way this came out and it was really fun to make!
