This stunning gift is designed exclusively by Australian artist Helen James. When you present this stunning silver or gold tone tray to your gift recipient they will be amazed at its artisan look and feel. The top of the tray is glass, the underlay is your choice of silver or or gold tone that has been hand-painted just for you. Makes a formal affair, casual gathering or display piece the "perfect touch".

Our distinct laser engraving process is done here in-house with expert attention to detail and craftsmanship.

Legend Of The Blue Rose With Our New Upgraded Case!

In the Victorian Era people who desired to communicate or send a secret message used the "Language of Flowers" to express their feelings. There were times, due to various circumstances,that ones true feelings could not be openly expressed. So people of this era devised a way to arrange flowers in a certain way or choose a specific color to reveal these thoughts and feelings secretly. Red roses meant love and romance. White meant purity, innocence, sympathy and spirituality and so on. However the rarest of the rare is the elusive Blue Rose. The Blue Rose signifies mystery, intrigue and the obtaining of love that might, at times, seem to have numerous obstacles to overcome.

Our new Blue Rose Chest and Message Bottle is the perfect gift to send whether you are in a new relationship or one that is already established. Perhaps distance or circumstance separates you from a loved one.

It is for these reasons and more that we have chosen The Legend Of The Blue Rose Gift Chest as our 2011 Limited Edition Sentimental Messages Treasure Chest and Bottle. Read the entire Legend (see left) Also included is our Victorian era solid pewter Key to My Heart, copy of the story of The Blue Rose and a long stem silk Blue Rose.

In addition our master engravers have etched the story of the Blue Rose onto a custom plate that fits into the inside lid of the case. Every time your gift recipient opens the case they will be reminded of this very special story.

An instant heirloom!

Coming Soon! Rebecca Moy's Artwork To Grace Our New Designer Series Keepsake Boxes!

We are so pleased to announce that we are creating a Designer Series of keepsake boxes with the artwork of Rebecca Moy! All of our designer boxes will boast a unique piano finish, a personalized brass plate and Rebecca Moy’s artwork. If you are not familiar with Rebecca Moy, here is a brief bio on this impressive visual artist

If Rebecca Moy were a writer, she would not be a novelist, a dramatist or an essayist. Rather, she would be a poet. Just as the finest poets can carefully piece together simple and seemingly random words and phrases to express very complex personal feelings, so too Rebecca can take a simple brush stroke or a tiny swath of color and immediately transport us to places that we only thought existed in our minds. Or our dreams. As one of the rising stars of the Chicago art scene, Rebecca is a woman whose passion for self-expression is evident in every piece she produces.

Whether it is a larger-than-life symphony of color, form and texture or a small study in black and white, when Rebecca Moy is at work she is not so much painting as she is composing. A native of La Grange, Illinois, she holds a bachelor’s degree from the visual arts department of Chicago’s highly regarded Columbia College. In 2007, following a juried competition, she was one of a handful of artists to gain acceptance to the prestigious River East Art Center, where she was one of that gallery’s youngest artists in residence. Rebecca’s dreamscape work is on display at Ossia Fine Art in the Fine Arts Building 410 S. Michigan, Chicago through September; as well as a growing number of private collections and public locations throughout the country and throughout the world.
