Master craftsmen must painstakingly inlay these hand carved wooden boxes with genuine Mother-of-Pearl and camel bone. You will marvel at the thousands of individually hand-cut and hand-placed pieces that are needed to complete one of these masterpieces !!
On our visit to Egypt we discoverd how some stores can offer these items that appear to be at a lower price...
There are two styles of Mother of Pearl items Hand-crafted in Egypt.
The one's we offer are only the genuine full Mother of Pearl items, Tops and sides with all genuine Mother of Pearl and no plastic.
The other style often seen in stores and online that appear to be Mother of Pearl, but often only on the lids and tops, the sides having an imitation plastic Mother of Pearl looking sticker attached.
We at Sea Gypsy Online ONLY offer the Genuine items of the highest quality we can find.. We hope you agree with us..!!
