Lidded glass boxes for rings, notes, and small remembrances.
A keepsake box is a small stained glass container with a hinged or lift-off lid, made to hold the things too small and too important to leave loose: a wedding band, a baptism certificate folded once, a lock of hair, a note. The glass makes what is inside part of the object. Love & Love YAH designs each one in-house, makes it to order, and donates 10% of every purchase to a Christian ministry, mission, charity or non-profit.
These are built with copper foil and solder, with a mirrored or frosted base so the contents sit on a reflective floor rather than on bare glass.
Keepsake boxes are given at weddings, anniversaries, baptisms, and as a sympathy gift, since they give someone a place to put an object they cannot throw away. Clean with a dry cloth only, never ammonia glass cleaner. 10% of every purchase is donated to a Christian ministry, mission, charity or non-profit. You are helping the Kingdom of Heaven with every purchase.
3x3 holds rings and a folded note. 4x4 holds cards and small objects. 5x7 takes a folded certificate flat.
It depends on the design. Hinged lids stay attached, lift-off lids are simpler and less likely to strain the solder over years.
A name or date can be sandblasted into one panel or the base on most designs. Allow an extra week.
Dry cloth on the glass, nothing on the solder. Ammonia cleaners corrode solder lines and dull the finish permanently.
No. It is a decorative keepsake box, not a sealed container, so nothing moisture-sensitive should be stored long term.
It is one of the most common. It gives someone a defined place for a small object they do not want loose in a drawer.
