Shalom: Olive Wood & Armenian Ceramic Jewelry Box

Dimensions: 17 cm x 3.8 cm x 9.5 cm / 6.7" x 1.5" x 3.7"

The ancient craft of olive wood carving lives on! The wood is deeply stained, leaving a warm soft glow. The top of the lid features a ceramic tile in the very best Armenian ceramic tradition for which Jerusalem is so famous. It reads Shalom in English and Hebrew. The bottom and interior of the box are covered in felt to avoid scratching surfaces.

Please note that no two olive wood products are identical, due to differences in wood tone and grain. Your item therefore might not be exactly as pictured.

Each item from Armenian Ceramics is skillfully crafted from ceramic clay according to traditional methods in the Land of Israel. Once it is formed, each item is baked at a high heat (1000°C) until it hardens. It is then masterfully hand painted using metallic and oxidized paint, allowing it to maintain its natural vibrant colors. After, it is reheated and then coated with a fine layer of glazing. After this traditional process is completed, the final product is sure to become a treasured part of your home decor for many years to come!
