The Lotus flower is made of holly and inlaid into a ring box of solid wenge. It is 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" x 1-1/5" with two solid brass hinges. My ring boxes are done with marquetry or wood inlay. They are not silk screened or painted or decals, but each piece, each color is a different piece of wood. This takes a little longer than painting or silk screening and each one is made individually with different woods making each one uniquely a one of a kind item. What most people forget is how to present a ring. I make beautiful boxes to present these very special rings in. Every couple has a special something between them, a song, a poem, a place, a saying, a theme something that has special meaning to them, maybe we can incorporate that into a ring box just for you. Each of my ring boxes are handcrafted one at a time using solid woods and veneers. They now have a larger cavity to hold larger rings. If you want something special engraved inside the lid or on the bottom or a special inlay, just let me know, I will gladly work with you to make it extra special. We are working with grained woods so each box will vary slightly with grain and color. INSERT OPTION: You also have your choice from 6 colors for the insert. Please pick a color. If one is not chosen, the box will ship with a black insert. FREE ENGRAVING. The free engraving is for anything inside the box lid. If you want something additional on the outside of the box, please let me know and I will figure a cost for you. If engraving is not requested, then a velvet liner matching the insert will be used. CLOCK OPTION. I also offer an option that will allow the love of your life to continue using the box you purchased for them long after they said yes. Keep that moment in front of them and remind them how much they mean to you. The movement is approx. 1.5" in diameter and just snaps into the box after you remove the foam that held the ring. Just purchase the option when you order the box, or let me know when you order in the "Notes to seller" section. The option is only $13.00 extra. I normally ship the box via USPS priority mail which is 2 to 3 days. If you need it overnight, that is express mail 1 to 2 days depending on your location and it runs $30.00. I do ship overseas to several countries but unfortunately not for free. Please contact me and let me know where you are and I will calculate a shipping cost for you. Please see my shipping and policy section. My items are priced for the American market so any overseas sales do not include any duties, Taxes or handling fees you may be required to pay.

For Custom Inlaid Humidor Hd24 With Free Shipping And Engraving.I received my custom humidor today. I am blown away. I didn't know craftsmanship of this level was even possible at all let alone in todays quick-fix, disposable world. This piece is perfect from top to bottom. Communication was great, he listened to my needs and worked with me to get the details just right. The humidor shipped with a few extra goodies like a humidor started pack and detailed instruction on seasoning the humidor, which was a nice touch. This maker and his product are truly 5 Stars in every category. If you are considering custom product...consider yourself lucky you have found him and definitely purchase anything from this maker with confidence. It's not often a vision comes to life without a few things getting lost in translation...but it happened today with this custom humidor.

For 24 Count Humidor With Free Engraving And Shipping.Understand that even though i gave 2 3 star ratings it does not change my opinion of Michaels work. It is pristine work and my humidor is flawless. The level of craftmanship on this project is next level. I truly love what he has made for me and am excited to use it for several years. The project was supposed to take 6 weeks and he had some equipment issue which took it to nearly 10 weeks. I understand the issues and we both agreed that the communication could of been better but in all seriousness. Thank you so much Michael, it is truly beautiful.

For Custom Inlaid Humidor Hd24 With Free Shipping And Engraving.Whatever risks I would have anticipated in ordering a special gift through the mail were foolish as it regards this item. It has far, far exceeded any expectations I could have had. I could not have imagined the workmanship and cleverness in the design. Our logo was done spectacularly. While I expected a simple vinyl application, it is done with wood! The process was quick and simple from the first moment. Outstanding experience. Michael was perfect.
