Finely handcrafted in the traditional Taxco or Guadalajara workshop style, the box features ornate repousse and etched geometric borders, a polished interior, and four raised decorative feet that give it graceful elevation.
The lid is crowned with a natural orange jasper cabochon, its warm, matte finish and natural veining offering a beautiful contrast to the cool silver alloy. The piece is both functional and decorative - perfect for jewelry, keepsakes, or as a refined accent on a console or vanity.
