Traditional Korean Laquerware
[Da Soom] Traditional Korean Jewelry Box
Today, we present a dazzling, Korean Mother-of-Pearl Jewelry Box!
This jewelry box is made by najeon-chilgi, a Korean technique that involves inlaying thin layers of mother-of-pearl onto lacquered surfaces.
What is mother of pearl?
It’s the shiny, “rainbow” composite material that you see on the inner-side of certain seashells - like abalone, mollusk & clams.
This traditional art technique of inlaying mother-of-pearl roots all-the-way back to the Goryeo Era (918 CE-1392 CE).
Both the Najeon art-form and its treasured pieces were passed down generation to generation, until the Japanese occupation of Korea - when Korean cultural items were prohibited and artisans were prosecuted.
Nowadays, Najeon-chilgi pieces proudly represent Korean heritage in a dazzling brilliance, with everlasting quality!
How's it made?
The process begins by applying a coat of lacquer to a wooden item.
Next, the surface of the object is covered with hemp cloth and coated with lacquer again.
This process is repeated several times before inlaying pieces of mother-of-pearl.
Then finally, it’s given a lacquer topcoat.
This process takes months!
But the result is an iridescent shine, that’s resistant to moisture & decay.
Use this special box to store wedding rings, jewelry & other valuables.
The inside of the box includes a mirror.
And it also comes with a ring-holder divider to help you neatly organize.
The design of the box includes Peony flowers, which symbolized prosperity in the old days.
Available in 3 colors: Mahogany Red, Midnight Blue, Royal Purple
