The Art of Containment

Fine handmade boxes by Simon Jewell

Uniquely personal gifts

Any of my boxes can be made a truly individual gift with the addition of some sort of personalisation. I offer several ways of doing this for you and I'm sure that one of these will be perfect for you.

Inlaid initials

These can be done in any font that you require and can include any other information that you want. For example, wedding/birthday date.

Stylisation

We can also use more stylised initials to provide a truly unique piece. The design is obviously dependent on the initials of the person involved and will be approved with a full scale drawing.

Monograms

These can take several forms, but are usually some variant of copperplate lettering which I hand cut and inlay into a box for a unique decorative det

Truly unique pieces

Modern techniques mean that I can make any sort of design in marquetry to truly personalise a piece, e.g full coats of arms or other designs or graphics.

If you would like to discuss any of these options in more detail, please contact me and I would be happy to answer any questions.
