Handcrafted sterling and fine silver hinged box with star sapphire catch.
The top of the box is made of fine silver that has been woven to give it a basket like appearance.
The surface of the box has been scratched and oxidized adding texture and depth.
The hinge is three part. The box has a nice deep blue star sapphire set in 14K bezel that functions as a clasp to keep the box tightly closed.
I do not know the origin of the sapphire it could be created in a lab or natural I just found it in a box of loose gem stones and thought it looked nice.
This would be a perfect presentation box for a very special gift such as a wedding or engagement ring, then a life long reminder of that special day.
This box is essentially a cube measuring:
25.5 mm length (1 inch)
25.5 mm height (1 inch)
25.5 mm width (1 inch)
The round sapphire cabochon measures 5.2 mm.
I work with recycled metal – all metals have been reclaimed.
