5 out of 5 starsWhat an amazing jewelry box! This is my fourth purchase from Michelle and she never disappoints! The attention to detail is second to none! I highly recommend her jewelry boxes if you’re looking for a gift for yourself or for someone else!

Thanks so much for this review Jenny! It is much appreciated. The details are my favourite parts of refreshing the jewellery boxes and bringing them back to life.

5 out of 5 starsThis was my first purchase. I was looking for a lockable box and had a hard time finding one in Canada and not costing an absolute fortune. The box is beautiful. It arrived fast and it was exactly as pictured. It’ll make a perfect Xmas present for my husband :)

5 out of 5 starsSO happy I ordered this. It really is so unique and beautiful. Amazing attention to detail, and lots of storage for the jewellery I inherited from my mother. I have bought several pieces from this shop, and they all fill me with joy. Quick shipping and careful packaging. Buy something here - you won't regret it!

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to produce a customized jewelry box?
The processing time will vary depending on the variety of finishes chosen for the box and availability of products to finish the box. I generally estimate 5-7 days to customize a box prior to shipping.

Depending on the day of the week I can generally get a completed jewelry box out for delivery in 1-3 days.
What is the process for a custom order?
I love custom orders and bringing your vision for a jewelry box personalize to your style to life. Please feel free to contact me with your ideas. I look forward to working with you on your one of a kind design via Etsy Conversation.
