The grain, tone, and color you receive will vary from what you see in the photos — that is the nature of the material, not a variation in quality. Dimensions are approximate. What you get is not a copy of something. It is the real thing. And of course, the box comes empty with no jewelry. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: none;\" alt=\"olive wood cooking spoon making rajaeen\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/3763\/8479\/files\/Slide-1-1090x450.jpg?v=1756676571\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: none;\" alt=\"olive wood for cooking spoon making rajaeen\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/3763\/8479\/files\/IMG_1540-500x500.jpg?v=1756676571\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rajaeen.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45109588099151,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/3763\/8479\/files\/Gemini_Generated_Image_vd0dd9vd0dd9vd0d.png?v=1776565064","url":"https:\/\/rajaeen.com\/products\/olive-wood-jewelry-box-ring-box-handmade-in-bethlehem-palestine","provider":"Rajaeen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
