From the first design conversation to the final fit of the interior lining, every decision is made with one question in mind - is this exactly right? Not almost.

The story of how we started.

Hello my name is Max and it all began when I couldn’t find a jewellery box good enough for what I had in my mind for my unbelievably special girlfriend and so I decided to make my own, with the finest materials I could find and with my heart and soul poured into every hour, I managed to make her something she told me she didn’t even realise was possible, and seeing the pure love, joy, pleasure and shock in her eyes makes me so incredibly happy.

Since that day, I thought it would be wonderful to give others the opportunity to have not only a jewellery box designed and made specifically for them but to also have a unique experience that can be remembered for years after.
