UzbekAlive owes its beginning to hand painted lacquer boxes made of papier-mâché .
The inspiration came around 2000 from Koshib Omonov, Uzbek artist of lacquer painting in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
The first version of UzbekAlive website was entirely devoted to lacquer hand painted boxes. Slowly we expanded into ikat fabrics, ikat pillow covers, silk scarves and other cultural treasures Uzbekistan offers.
Over the years these jewelry boxes have touched many hearts around the world. We have customers who ordered such hand painted jewelry boxes as gifts for their bridesmaids – an artist customized jewelry boxes by writing names of a newlywed couple on the backside of a lid. People in love used our jewelry boxes to propose to their loved ones. Fathers bought our jewelry boxes for their teenage daughters as their first jewelry box. Whatever the occasion these jewelry boxes win hearts with their beauty and intricate details of painting and make unique and unforgettable gifts.
Art by Koshib Omonov is also presented in Hand Painted Barrettes category.
