Riccio Tooth Fairy Boxes
Riccio
tooth fairy boxes are cast in bronze and sterling silver.
They began as thematic ideas which took the form of a miniature.
The original designs were first carved in wax.
The Tooth Fairy Story
Children have long been cherished for their purity, and playfulness.
Fairies are known to share those very same qualities.
As time passes, every
child begins that inevitable change to adulthood.
They become more aware and
have important thoughts.
They get bigger and bigger.
As the smile grows, the
tiny baby teeth become too small,
new bigger ones grow to replace them.
Faries
on the other hand, never grow up!
They remain tiny and childlike for a long,
long time.
Baby teeth are keepsake treasures to fairies.
A tooth fairy will
wait up all night hoping that its favorite child will
leave a memento of times
shared in dreamland.
In turn, the fairy leaves a gift that will be of use in
the growing up world.
All in all, each in turn, the tradition of growing up
and giving is carried on.
