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.

Queen Ann Treasure Box


A wooden cigar box from Honduras transformed into glass treasure box

...the outside is painted in metallic gold and encrusted in recycled rolled glass in shades of blue & gray; silver & gold bells are used for the handle that will pull the lid out; the top's centerpiece is a Queen Ann's lace (a flower abundant in Michigan) & more glass this time with some turquoise ones; 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, kind of like us)
