The Regnas Snuff Box
Hand Crafted from the Finest Materials
All Regnas Snuff Boxes are made with the highest quality materials, using well-established construction techniques.
Base Metal Choice
You can choose the base metal used. The options are:
- A) Sterling Silver, 92.5% pure silver, 7.5% copper (Any metal can make up the 7.5 percent non-silver portion of sterling but copper is the most commonly used alloy)
- B) 18 Carat Gold, 75% pure gold, 25% silver, copper, nickel, zink (Usually silver and copper in various mixes dependent on desired colour and hardness)
- C) a combination of silver and gold in the case of the silver gilt
The metals are worked by hand, by professional craftsmen, with many years of experience of this ancient craft. Any engraving (of the mineral stone) or inscribing (on the silver or gold interior of the box) is also carried out by experienced craftsmen.
For custom orders, and for an extra fee, our metals can be examined by The London Assay Office and Hallmarked to indicate the full and correct metal content, thus confirming, without question the authenticity of the metals.
Precious Mineral Stones
The precious mineral stone used for the lid may have been obtained at source almost anywhere in the world. (You'll find more information on mineral stones here) or very likely obtained through one of our suppliers working internationally. Only natural, untreated mineral stones are used. All our stones are guaranteed to be genuine mineral stones with natural colors. Click here to see our current choice of precious stones.
It is to be appreciated that any materials created naturally, over many millions of years, will vary in pattern and coloring the one from another.
Each Box is not only hand-made but also absolutely unique. Provided it is stored or displayed in good conditions it will last for many hundreds, maybe thousands, of years. The finest souvenir of that important occasion and those who were giving and receiving.
Prices range from US$150-250 depending on materials, engraving and inscribing
