When someone looks at a closed box she gets curious and wants to know what could be in it. Before she opens the box, her excitement grows, particularly if what she expects to find is a beautiful piece of jewellery.

In reality, jewellery is almost always presented in a plain, boring box. Even though it is clear that the jewellery plays the main role, the packaging usually does not enhance the beauty and value of it. We have asked ourselves: couldn’t there be a better symbiosis between jewellery and its’ storage or presentation container? A box should be for a piece of jewellery like a frame is for a painting. The idea is that the jewellery artist would create both the jewellery and its container in harmony and symbiosis with each other.
