The box is very decorative and was carefully crafted in cedar wood and decorated with a repousse plaque made-up in .925/.999 sterling silver, with delicate hammered patterns.

Ottaviani
Since the early 1900s, the Ottaviani family of Recanati has interpreted precious metals, silver and gold, with innovation and talent, bringing the brand to international markets, conveying proudly Italian values and style. The silver district of the Marches was born from the Ottaviani company. Today the creative activity of the company, led by the architect Laura Ottaviani, promotes a continuous evolution in the stylistic proposals and in the production techniques used. Home objects, jewels and precious bijoux are all characterized by a refined and elegant stylistic line, a distinctive trait of the company.
