Mother of Pearl Jewelry Box: Peony and Butterfly on Deep Blue Abalone

 “Where moonlit gardens bloom beneath the sea.”

This handcrafted jewellery box embodies elegance in both form and finish. Composed with generous proportions (approximately 29 cm wide), it offers ample space to hold rings, earrings, and treasured keepsakes—each cradled in velvet and mother-of-pearl.

The entire surface—excluding only the base—is adorned with peonies and butterflies in harmonious flight, each motif rendered in hand-cut shell. Crimson, violet, ivory, and soft green petals shimmer against a backdrop of deep blue abalone, their tones shifting with the light like a twilight garden.

The box opens to reveal a full mirror inset within the lid, allowing the wearer to try on pieces with ease and grace. Inside, a removable velvet tray includes dedicated ring rolls and compartments—organised yet luxurious.

Even the interior walls are sheathed in shell, extending the richness of the surface into the hidden folds. The clasp itself is shaped like a fish—adding a touch of charm and delight to each opening gesture.

This is not merely a jewellery box, but a sanctuary for adornment. A vessel where beauty rests, and where the shimmer of nature is preserved in lacquer and shell.

As with all works shaped by hand and shell, no two are ever quite alike. The flow of colour and line may shift subtly from piece to piece—each a singular bloom within the same garden.
