Jay Strongwater - Armi Armadillo Box

Celebrate the beauty of the American Southwest with the Jay Strongwater Armi Armadillo Box. Inspired by the regions where armadillos are a beloved symbol, this handcrafted keepsake transforms an everyday creature into a collectible work of art. Beginning as a detailed sketch before evolving into an intricate three-dimensional sculpture, every curve and textured scale of the armadillo's shell has been carefully recreated. Cast in zinc and finished with radiant 14K gold plating, the piece is hand-enameled in warm topaz and cream tones and accented with more than 80 hand-set crystals for brilliant sparkle. A hidden compartment beneath the sculptural lid provides a secure place for jewelry, treasured mementos, or other small keepsakes, making this decorative box as functional as it is distinctive.
