mahogany box

I bought this for my wife as a Christmas gift and she loves the jewelry box. it is well made and is a lovely design with tooled leather. We retired from the US to Oaxaca several years ago but still remain Novica customers and usually receive shipments without issues. One issue however is if you are planning to ship this piece to Mexico expect a delay for the delivery due to new 2025 Mexican Customs Regulations for inspecting wooden products. Mexican Customs finally released the product but it took more than three weeks for them to do so. FedEx informed me there would be a $200 peso inspection fee but I was ultimately not charged the fee by Customs. I don't know if this is common practice since the Mexican Custom requirement for wooden items is new and confusing.

This was absolutely beautiful! It was well tooled, well crafted, and the wood has a beautiful grain that doesn't show well in the picture. In other words, the photo doesn't do it justice. The only detractor is the lock which is a bit dinky but it works. The person who made this is skilled and meticulous. Bravo!

This lovely piece came wrapped carefully in paper and arrived in perfect condition. You can smell the distinctive mahogy wood, which I enjoy. My only critique is that the vessel is more gold and less colorful than the photos would lead you to believe. Craftsmanship is excellent - the lid fits perfectly. Beautiful! Thank you!
