The object of this project was to create a jewelry box that had a better way of storing 100 necklaces 50 pairs of earring and 6 watches. There are a ton of beautiful jewelry boxes out there, but a lot of them lack practical functionality. Every jewelry box that I have looked in usually looks like a spider's web of necklaces with rings and earring trapped inside it. This causes a problem when you actually want to wear the jewelry you are putting in the box. It's so easy to damage valuable and sometime a priceless piece of jewelry when it's stored this way. So my solution to this problem was to build vertical drawers on sliding tracks. The five sliders pull all the way out and then pivot 90 degrees both ways. This allows you to see the necklaces or earrings hanging on both sides without having to bend over or turn your head in an awkward position. This box also has 2 drawers. One with adjustable dividers in them to suit the customers needs. It also has a drawer designated to six watches. The box is 17 5/8"H, 12 1/2"W and 9 5/8"D. The options of this box are endless. I can use any wood that you desire and I have a couple of different designs that utilize the vertical drawers. I really enjoyed building this box and I look forward to working with you on yours.

For Cocobolo Engagement Ring Box With Malachite InlaysWorking with Chris was absolutely wonderful. He was an excellent communicator and an immaculate professional. His workmanship is top-notch and was instrumental in helping me figure out exactly how my project should take shape. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.

For Small Keepsake BoxesI am very happy with the quality of the box. I had asked that the box be modified to have a hinged top. The hinges were placed in a very professional way so that they were almost hidden.

For Jewelry box projectI was searching for a one of a kind custom jewelry box for my wife's birthday and found CustomMade and Chris' store. The unique design on his vertical necklace and earring shelves are unlike anything I had seen before and made the most sense given the confined space the box would ultimately be stored. It did take a few days to get an initial response but once I did I got timely responses to all my questions and we went back and forth on design till it was settled with a proposal. They say good things take time and this is true, be prepared to wait, it took about 3 months, but it was worth it. The craftsmanship is stellar, you can tell Chris has worked a long time at this skill. The box is solid and heavy (real wood). The drawers are all smooth action and fit snugly. This is a box that will become an heirloom, which you can only get from quality custom made products.

For Modified jewelry box with vertical necklace drawersChristopher did an amazing job building a custom jewelry box that I'm going to give as a gift. The piece is exactly what we discussed and is absolutely beautiful to look at with solid construction. Throughout the project he kept me updated with progress reports and pictures of the work in progress. When UPS damaged the item during delivery he worked with me to fix the damage very quickly.
I'm so happy with the work, I've already started a second project with him.
