+ THE STORY

Italian alabaster has been carved into useful beautiful things for centuries — in Volterra, in Florence, in workshops where the stone arrived in rough blocks and left as something worth keeping. This rectangular jewelry box carries that lineage in its veining, its weight, its polished surfaces. The form is clean and classic. No ornamentation beyond what the stone itself provides — and the stone provides enough. Natural veining moves through the alabaster in patterns that no two pieces repeat.

+ WHY WE CHOSE IT

Because genuine Italian alabaster at this quality of polish and veining is increasingly hard to find. Because a jewelry box made from the earth and finished by hand is a more interesting object than one that wasn't. Because some things have been waiting for the right shelf, and this is one of them.

+ ABOUT THIS PIECE

One available. No chips or damage noted. A strong piece for an Italian craft collection, a vanity display, a stone collectible, or anywhere that benefits from a little natural beauty and genuine provenance.
