Our jewellery boxes are made of wood and painted entirely by hand in the Kashmiri naqashi tradition, the decorative art our family has practised in Srinagar since 1900. Each design is built up brush stroke by brush stroke: gulkar florals, chinar birds and trailing vines, or bright bouquets set against a glossy black finish.
Each box measures about 10 × 7 × 5 inches (25 × 18 × 13 cm), roomy enough for rings, earrings, necklaces and keepsakes, and several are lined in soft velvet. A hand-painted wooden jewellery box sits beautifully on a dressing table and makes a lasting gift for a wedding, an anniversary or Eid.
Because every piece is painted by hand, small differences in brushwork and colour are part of its character, and no two boxes are exactly alike. Each comes with a certificate of authenticity, is packed carefully for the journey, and ships across India, with Cash on Delivery, and abroad.
