COULD NOT BE NICER.LOVE IT.

Lovely Box. Stunning detail. Real happy about the purchase.

I have a friend who loves peacocks, so I am always on the lookout for peacock items for her. When I had an opportunity to order this little box for review, of course I was curious. It could have been just a kitchy item you would find in a souvenir shop, but instead, it is a beautiful piece of hand craftsmanship. The mother of pearl is inlaid on lacquered wood using traditional designs from Korea. The lid is not hinged, but fits the box well, and the size is perfect for just a few rings or earrings. It is also a perfect size for business cards.Although some reviewers seemed to be surprised at how small the box is, I looked at the seller's site, where there are also many other mother of pearl items, and the size is made very clear. Although I didn't find any flaws in the box i received, it's important to recognize that this is hand work and each piece is somewhat unique. I was also surprised at some comments about the price. Frankly, it seems to be a bargain if the store is being honest about the box being handmade. Although the box has been mass produced in the sense that there is one design that is probably used for hundreds of boxes, I consider the people who choose and then inlay the tiny pieces of mother of pearl to recreate the design, to be craft artists in their own right. If the original artist had also cut and inlaid the mother of pearl, and it was a one-of-a-kind work of art, it would be worth much more, so we are fortunate to be able to have such a piece at such a modest price.

I have another box similar to this and just love the sheen of MOP. My other one has flowers on it, but I just love the peacocks on the top and on the inside all the sparkly chips of mother of pearl. Just to be honest here, I write with fountain pens when I journal and my favorite fountain pen to write with is solid mother of pearl - I love the deep sheen of it! This will hold a few of my rings and that's all I want - a pretty box to hold some jewelry!

From my wife Sarah: This is so beautiful! I don't think I realized how small this is though, but the Amazon page does really show the size if you look carefully. As some have mentioned, it would make a great business card holder, or you could put things like small earrings, rings, etc. The inlay is so delicate and detailed and the quality of the mother of pearl is as beautiful as the photos show. The box appears well made and I think it will be a long lasting box. It would make a really nice gift. The price is a bit high because of the size but I think because of the detail and work that goes into it, it's worth it.

This is attractive, but if you look closely you can see bubbles and flaws in the finish. It wouldn't matter so much, except one is really large and you can see it from farther away. I think it's very attractive, but there are quality control issues. The one I received should never have been shipped out, because it should have been pulled as a factory second. Good luck in your search.
