Because presentation is part of provenance.

The Ritual of Arrival

A jewel’s story does not begin when it is worn.
It begins when it is opened.

At Ma Couronne, presentation is not an afterthought. It is an extension of history — preserved wherever possible, recreated with integrity when necessary, and always delivered with intention. Each Jewelry piece includes original or period-appropriate antique presentation box.

Original Boxes — When Time Is Kind

Whenever available, each jewel is accompanied by its original antique presentation box.

These are the very cases in which the piece may have rested in a 19th-century vitrine, been purchased beneath gaslight, or presented in a private drawing room. Their silk linings, faded gilt monograms, and patinated hinges remain as quiet witnesses to generations past.

To receive a jewel in its original box is to hold both object and memory together.

Period-Appropriate Antique Boxes — When History Requires Restoration

When an original box has been lost to time, we carefully source an authentic antique box from the same era as the jewel.

• Never modern reproductions
• Never newly manufactured replicas
• Always true antique presentation cases

Each is selected for alignment in:

• Period

• Region (when possible)

• Craftsmanship

• Scale and silhouette

• Interior tone and textile harmony

The result is not packaging — but cohesion.

Discreet & Protective Shipping

Each antique box is securely protected within modern, neutral outer packaging to ensure safe transit. Upon arrival, you will unveil the jewel exactly as it would have appeared generations ago — velvet against silk, hinge opening slowly, light meeting gold.

As with all objects that have survived a century or more, antique boxes may show gentle signs of age consistent with their history. This is not imperfection — it is evidence of life well lived and the beauty found in maturity.
