After two years of acquiring jewelry for Lydia Ann I have decided that she needs a place to keep it all in. Basically this happened after I went looking for one of her pieces and it fell out on my floor from between some random objects.

Oops.

A jewel casket is needed.

So here are my inspiration images:

Monogram:

 The monogram on her casket wont be as fancy but it will be done in gold!

Quilted silk lining:

Why stop with luxury only on the outside? The feet on this one are a fancier version of the casket I am making.

This next casket just inspired me with the gold and what I presume is tortoise shell or faux tortoise shell.

The shape:

This is a much fancier version of what I am making BUT we know the average lady did not own this box. Lydia Ann is more of an average “lady” but don’t tell her I said that…..

 

Stay tuned for the finished product!
