Fellow Orchidians:
Can anyone recommend a custom jewelry box maker? I’m making a large
bracelet/watch that requires a fine box. This reminds me of the time
I visited the conservatory department in the Smithsonian Institute’s
Natural History Museum. The specialists were trying to restore the
original jewelry boxes for the 18th Century French Crown jewelry (the
origin of the Hope Diamond). The boxes were wonderfully crafted with
elaborate hinges, clasps and silk lining.
That was a trade-craft I’ve never seen before.
Cheers.
