Personalized Jewelry Box
“Before Anyone Else”
Before Anyone Else (BAE) is a very special jewelry box. It’s personalized for someone who’s initials are E.G.
This box was made almost entirely from one stunning large block of big leaf maple burl. The elliptical shape of the box is repeated in the tray, in the outside shape of the second “hidden” box, in the handle on the top of the second box, and in the divided compartments inside of the second box.
