about the jars & boxes
Each one is carved by hand in Balochistan, Pakistan, by artisans working in lineage, and finished in our studio in San Diego, in amber, ivory, honey, rust, blush, sage, rose and caramel. Lift the lid and the stone often shows a paler face underneath, a side nobody sees until it's opened.
We leave the stone raw and seal it with beeswax. We don't use chemical polish. It would make the stone tougher and our work easier, and it would stop being raw stone.
They run from about 3 to 5 inches across and weigh 1 to 3 lb. A one-of-one box is photographed on its own, and that is the one we pack. Where a listing has more than one in stock, the photo shows the design and the stone, and yours will carry its own veining.
Quarried where making began.
good to know
How does the lid work?
The lid is carved from the same block as the box and rests in place on its own weight. There's no plastic or rubber seal, so it isn't airtight. Some lift by a carved onyx knob.
How do I look after it?
Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, and keep it out of standing water. There's more in our guide, How to Clean Stone.
Is the box in the photo the one I'll get?
For a one-of-one box, yes. It's photographed on its own, and that's the one we pack.
Where a listing has more than one in stock, the photo shows the design and the stone, and yours will carry its own veining.
How does shipping work?
Every order ships from our studio in San Diego. Ground delivery in the U.S. takes 3 to 6 days, and it's free on orders over $100. We also ship to 25 countries across Asia, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. That takes about a week, priced at checkout.
If a piece arrives damaged, photograph it as it comes out of the box and email hello@saeadesigns.com. We'll sort out a refund or an exchange. Returns are open for 30 days, unused and in the original packaging, with return shipping taken from the refund.
