London-Based LB Jewellers Launches Luxurious Leather Jewelry Box And Watch Cases

For at least five thousand years, jewelry boxes have been made by artisans to safeguard adornments of royals and commoners alike. Whether discovered inside ancient Egyptian tombs, hauled out of shipwrecked schooners from the bottom of the sea or extracted from Central American burial sites, hand-crafted jewelry boxes of various materials have histories as rich and wondrous as the jewels and timepieces that they contain. Now in 2023, London-based prestige jeweler Lamar Berko, founder and CEO of LB Jewellers, is introducing a luxurious, top grain Italian black leather “generational” jewelry box with nine orange suede removable interior compartments that are ideal for home or travel use. While the case stands 4 inches tall, it measures almost 10.5 inches wide— large enough to fit a considerable number of pieces. Accompanying the box’s release are a leather two-watch roll and a three watch roll replete with orange suede interiors.

“Jewelry boxes are an applied art object that are almost as old as human civilization,” Berko observed. “For centuries, jewelry boxes have allowed collectors to safely store and display their precious creations.” What’s more, Berko continued, jewelry boxes have long embodied “personal histories and generational relationships” by holding heirloom jewels, love tokens, gemstones, marital jewelry and other precious pieces. “Our LB Jewellers boxes and watch cases are intended to be heirloom pieces, just like the jewelry and watches that they protect,” said Berko. In other words, these are practical investments that can serve in this lifetime, and across future generations. The LB Jewellers jewelry box and watch cases are made of sturdy materials that are expertly pieced and stitched. Each black leather-clad generational jewelry box contains several orange suede removable compartments to store multiple rings, several sets of earrings, neck chains, bracelets, earrings, and even sunglasses. Inside this spacious case, there is also a watch roll that can hold a few timepieces.

Of Ghanaian/Jamaican descent, 29-year-old Berko grew up in South West London and began his entrepreneurial odyssey by selling watches, eventually becoming a trusted private jeweler through his enthusiasm and gift for fine design, along with ultra-customized bespoke services, including rush orders and international deliveries. (Personal appointments with Berko animate the heart and soul of LB Jewellers, and they can be booked through the firm’s website.)

Catering to jewelry lovers seeking bespoke adornments and fashion-forward, high-net worth celebrities, Berko has spent the last ten years establishing his fine and custom jewelry credentials by creating exclusive pieces for the U.S. boxing promoter and former pro boxer Floyd Mayweather, David Beckham and Nigerian singer/songwriter Wizkid, Berko has also worked with superstar British/Jamaican rapper Stefflon Don, who happens to have generated over 6 billion streams globally. Given the jewelry and watch storage needs, touring adn travel schedules of his clientele, Berko’s jewelry box and watch cases seem quite logical brand extensions.

“We take great pride in the quality and workmanship of our jewelry boxes,” Berko noted. “Unlike mass-produced options found in stores, every one of our boxes is crafted by highly skilled artisans who take pride in their work. All our products are created with the utmost attention to detail and designed to meet the unique needs and preferences of our clients. Our luxury boxes further enhance our brand and enable our customers to own an LB product – whether that’s a jewelry box or a piece of custom diamond jewelry.”

While many people can sell jewelry, few possess the taste, vision and customer relations skills to become a first-class fine jeweler. Berko embodies a heritage jeweler’s understanding of how to forge lasting personal connections, serve customers with grace and build relationships with jewelry and watch lovers. “We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new line of boxes and look forward to sharing them with collectors around the world,” Berko concluded. “If you’re interested in learning more about our products or how they can enhance your home aesthetic or simply protect your legacy, we’d love to speak with you.”
