    The Story Behind the Product

    Muhammad Nadim is a 22 year old from Saranpur, Uttar Pardesh. He makes many wooden handicrafts, including exquisite moon-star wooden jewelry boxes with brass inlays. He has been carving wood since a little boy. ?Since the age of 14 I have been working on wood. I always wanted to be an artisan, like my father. This is the best work for us. This is what we know. It is said that a man with some skill can never go hungry in his life. He will make use of his skill to win his dinner,? says Nadim.
    Muhammad Nadim says they face no shortage of wood in Saranpur. There are six members in his family including is parents, his two brothers and a sister. His brother is also an artisan. The females of the house help in polishing and buffing the handicrafts. Nadim says he can make seven boxes in a day, though the brass inlay can take more time. He hopes you enjoy his work.

For what I paid and based on the photo I thought this box would be bigger. It is beautiful though. Small but very pretty.

Pretty, handcrafted box

wiseone51 from Eastham, MA, May 5, 2008

I like this jewelry box and the carving is really nice. Mine didn't quite close all the way, but this is minor, and the wood has a bit of an obvious light streak on the top. However it still looks nice and I like the look of handcrafted items and appreciate that they may not be perfect. I also like supporting artisans in other, less developed countries.

carved jewelry box

dnece from Chicago suburbs, Feb 13, 2008

Really pretty and unique. I gave it as a gift with a pretty bracelet inside. Would have been a little nicer if it was lined. The the workmanship was great. Worth the price.
