Step into a tale of timeless affection with this gorgeous custom gift box crafted for those who believe in love, like roses, can be preserved in its most perfect moment. Inspired by the legend of Lady Amélie, a 19th-century heiress who sealed a single rose in crystal to remember her lost soldier, this chest weaves romance, comfort, and sweetness into a single heirloom-worthy treasure.
The Story
In 1888, beneath the gilded ceilings of her Parisian manor, Lady Amélie received a final letter from her beloved, a cavalry officer, with a dried rose from the battlefield. Heartbroken yet resolute, she encased the rose in hand-cut glass, nestled it beside his childhood teddy bear, and paired it with a locket inscribed “Je me souviens" (I remember). She filled the remaining space with honey candies from their secret rendezvous spot, vowing that even in sorrow, love could be tenderly preserved. The chest was rediscovered a century later, its contents untouched—a testament to devotion defying time.
The Collection**
1. Preserved Rose Cube
A blush-pink rose, eternally suspended in artisan-crafted resin, mimics Amélie’s original glass relic. Each petal is arranged to capture the rose’s "final breath" of bloom, symbolizing love frozen in its most vulnerable, beautiful state. The cube glows faintly under light, thanks to embedded gold-dust veins—a nod to Amélie’s belief that "grief holds its own radiance."
2. Clad Teddy Bear
This bear channels the officer’s cherished childhood companion. A hidden compartment in its paw holds a tiny key, symbolizing unlocking memories. Stuffing includes rose scented sachets, evoking the fields where the couple once picnicked.
3. Jewelry of Earrings or a bracelet
Hand crafted Jewelry that’s hypoallergenic with swirling Art Nouveau vines, opens to reveal beautiful colors and stones to carry the memory of the love and the moment.
4. Sweets of Chocolate & Cookies
Hand-dipped candies and cookies infused with chocolate wrapped in edible gold leaf. Inspired by Amélie’s habit of sweetening bitter days, each piece is nestled in a sealed envelope.
For the romantic who knows true love is not measured in years, but in moments made eternal. 🕊️🌹
