This little gift box has a truly distinctive feel: its lid carries the divine hand and gemstones motif, drawn from the layered symbolic world of Indian folk art. According to tradition, the open palm invites blessing, protection and abundance into the recipient's life, while the accompanying gemstone symbols evoke precious, cherished moments.
What it is best for
The 12 x 6 centimetre size is perfect for a bracelet, a small pendant, a pair of earrings, a keychain or a ring. It is also a kind choice if you wish to present a monetary gift in a more thoughtful form: unwrapping a pillow box feels far more intimate than opening a plain envelope.
The tradition of Indian papercraft
The box is made from durable cardboard in India, where paper printing and hand decoration is a craft spanning many centuries. At just 12 grams, it is light yet stable. The gilded outlines of the motif come into their own under good lighting, for instance on a side table beside the recipient.
Gifting ideas
If you are looking for something that is both a kind gesture and a lasting keepsake, this box is a fine choice. After unwrapping, the recipient can use it as a small jewellery tray for a pair of earrings or a sentimental token, and the motif on the lid will touch them anew each time they open it.
What to watch out for
The cardboard is not moisture-resistant. Keep it dry and away from steamy rooms. Under heavy pressure the box may dent, so do not place heavy objects on top. The glossy print may fade slightly with prolonged sun exposure. Feedback from our customers shows that recipients are reliably moved by this small touch.
