Koa and Mango Jewelry Box Top
Looking straight down on the top. Photos can't capture the deep luster of curly koa like that in the center of this box, and the curly and spalted mango compliments it beautifully, with its range of golds and peach.
The one drawer, two drawer version, and the "new style" no drawer version, all feature necklace storage in the lid, and a special earring tray that holds about 20, pairs of earrings, with ring pad in the back of the earring tray, as well as in the drawer. Sculpted ebony pulls reflect the art deco inspired inlay on the lid.

Here's an open shot, (the no drawer version here,-- same system is used on the one and two drawer versions), showing the innovative necklace storage and earring storage systems. The necklace box has a spring hinged, padded top section that places gentle tension on necklaces to prevent tangling. This may be easily opened and closed with a flick of a finger. The earring tray allows about 20 pairs of earrings to hang, both studded ones in the two rows of slots, and hook style in front through the holes. There is a two slot ring pad on one side , and flat storage on black velveteen in back on the other, with a handle in the middle for lifting the tray. The bottom dividers form nine compartments inside the box.

Even the no drawer version of this box hold a large collection of jewelry.

Koa Jewelry Box Simple Interior
Here's the "old style" version of the no drawer koa jewelry box, which makes a good gift for a man, or for a woman who doesn't use many earrings or necklaces. It uses an ebony lid stay. The mitered tray has padded ring storage on one side. The bottom has removable dividers. Koa has more variations in color than any other wood I know of, but it always has a beautiful, light catching depth that has to be seen in person to appreciate.
Koa Jewelry Box
Since koa has such bold and variable figure, it's especially important to match grain, and select wood carefully. My koa boxes are often made by re-sawing a piece long enough for one short side and one long side, and so I get a perfect grain match all the way around, with two book-matched corners, and two simple continuations of the grain. Pictured is a book-matched corner.
