Reliquary Box
When you loose someone it is such a personal journey. We make , in partnership , vessel that really means something. The box pictured was made for a man who loved nature and machines. In the lid we put an image of gears over mother of pearl. The image is recessed and tiny silver balls roll over the bottom image and in another top layer is a Morpho Butterfly image. The size is to be discussed and thumb screws hold the lid on securely. Contact me to see if we can create something unique for your unique relationship. These are made on handrun machines from the late 1800's and early 1900's.

Reliquary Boxes are copper boxes made on hand run machines from the late 1800's and early 1900's.
The lid has your image or an image I help you find. The image can be placed over Mother of Pearl or add touches of gold leaf making it all the more precious.
In the lid on top of your image there is space for tiny glass balls that roll around with a mesmerizing effect or you could add tiny stones or shells of sentimental value. It becomes your own treasure.
I love to create items that will be passed down through the generations that really expresses who you are.
Each one is velvet lined.
