Picking the Right Jewelry Box

by admin on March 31, 2009

Jewelry is a prized, special, and sacred possession that should be kept protected from any outside harm. This is what jewelry boxes are for. Not only do they protect your jewelry, they keep it organized, too, so you’ll always know where your favorite earrings are or where your grandma’s wedding ring is. Depending on what you’re looking for, there’s a jewelry box out there that can be customized to your needs.

Jewelry boxes are available in numerous shapes, styles, and prices. Depending on the jewelry, there’s often a specific box made for that jewelry. Standard jewelry boxes are standing cabinets, portable locked cases, wind up music boxes, boxes with mirrors, or organizational drawers. Jewelry boxes come in all shapes, sizes, and material. If you have a lot of jewelry, look for a jewelry armoire. Not too much jewelry? Go for a simple box. Always on the go? Get yourself a handy travel box. You can even get a customized jewelry box. Many people choose to have a handcrafted wooden box lined with velvet cloth. Regardless of the box you choose, jewelry boxes make great accessories for any room. Larger boxes can be crafted into pieces as large as furniture to store precious belongings in.

If your budget doesn’t allow for an expensive jewelry box, you can make your own out of cardboard, old boxes, or scrap wood. Just make sure to sand down and stain old wood to keep your jewelry safe and in good condition. Smaller boxes for storage are great and functional and can fit into most overnight bags. Hand-me down boxes from relatives can be restored and modernized, too, to keep that special part of the family intact.

Jewelry boxes make a great gift. If you know someone with too much jewelry but not enough organization, get them a jewelry box for their birthday, Valentine’s Day, or anniversary.

Make sure that whatever style of box your purchase or create matches your personality and protects your jewelry at the same time. You want to have something that is durable, luxurious, and above all, something with will display your pieces appropriately.
