Svasara Treasure Chests & Boxes

Created with the belief that everyone should have a beautiful, unique and special place to keep the things they treasure...something visible and alive, becoming part of your story. Each is always unique & handmade with an element reminding us that we are all connected and part of something bigger. For example, the treasure boxes are all the same on the inside - just as we are all very different on the outside but consist of the same elements within.

Petal Treasure Boxes (pair)


Wooden cigar boxes from Honduras transformed into a pair of petal treasure boxes...

...the outside box has a deep brown & burgundy metallic finish with a few rose petals; gold & brown bells are used for the handle that will pull the lid out; the lid is covered in rose petals & few colored recycled rolled glass to add texture and look of water droplets; inside is painted in a metallic blue and the bottom is lined with hand embossed copper, recycled blue glass and petals from flowers much cherished. (note: Each one is different on the outside but all the insides are the same, like all of us)

These two were created as a set for you to buy and use both or give the matching one to someone...friend, sibling, daughter, significant other....



depending on how you look inside and where the light comes & reflects from the bottom inside will glow more or less and change in color
