Jewelry boxes offer storage for your accessories.
They can contain the clutter that results from a growing jewelry
collection. Many women and girls use a jewelry box for to contain
their treasured baubles. There are many different varieties
of jewelry boxes to suit the style and taste of each different
person.
For a young girl, the box may be simple or elaborate. A simple
white or colorful hinged wooden box will suit the décor
of a juvenile bedroom. For a frilly girl, there are princess
themed options to suit a young girly girl’s preference.
Hand painted jewelry boxes make for great keepsake gifts that
many young girls treasure for years to come. If you are in search
of a memorable gift for a younger family member, a jewelry box
is a wonderful option. Some of these even play music and have
ballerina dancers that stand when the box is opened and dance
to the music.
One of the most important features in jewelry storage is compartmentalizing.
Necklaces tangle easily when left in a pile. Most jewelry boxes
come with separate compartment to store all the different trinkets:
necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings and watches. This separation
will also help you find the item you want faster.
Jewelry boxes suited for adults include many varieties and
sizes. For example,
• Wooden jewelry boxes are often made from walnut, pine,
cherry or other woods. The wood is usually stained to achieve
a warm and shiny glow.
• Ethnic inspired jewelry boxes can include exotic or
traditional motifs from other lands or cultures. Choosing a
jewelry box with a theme from an ancestor’s homeland is
a thoughtful reflection of family heritage.
• Size can range in size from very small to large, oversized
storage boxes. Small ones can be as small as a deck of cards,
which large ones will cover an entire dresser top. The size
depends on the size of your jewelry collection, or the size
of jewelry collection you aspire to have one day.
• Shapes can vary. Although a square or rectangular box
is most common, there are also round jewelry storage boxes.
When you are shopping for jewelry boxes for yourself or for
a loved one, consider the following:
• Size of the jewelry collection to be housed,
• Décor of the existing furnishings in the person’s
bedroom, and
• The recipient’s personal sense of style and personality.
