Hand carving bone is a tradition that has been preserved throughout the generations. Because each box takes a minimum of 12 hours to create, only a limited amount are made and that design will not be reproduced again. For over a decade, Jo Marz has combined unusual imported and domestic materials, semiprecious stones and unique findings to create highly collectible designs that are hand crafted by artisans. If this is your first Jo Marz item, or if you are an avid collector, we share your dedication to the finest products and distinctive designs.
