When it comes to storing of our precious jewels and jewelry, there is nothing like jewelry boxes and receptacles that keep them safe inside. What one needs is the perfect box that will help match your personality and style. If you are in need of finding that right one, read on. Hopefully you will know by the end what exactly to go for. There are tons of different kinds of boxes available these days. Let us first go through the basics of a jewelry box.
The Box Basics:
When it comes to the material, there are no limits really. But the usual are generally made of either wood or leather.
Any box that measures up to 14 inches can be used for keeping jewelry. You can look for a small or medium sized box.
What would you consider the best place to keep your jewelry box? I would suggest keeping it on your dresser or near the bed, possibly on the side table.
As for the pricing, you could find the small or medium sized for around $40 to $250. Spending about a $100 is good enough o find a decent one.
Whoever said you have to limit your collection to fit in a small box! For bigger collections there is always the big chest.
The Jewelry Chest:
These jewelry chests are usually very beautifully crafted and handed down one generation to another. Exquisitely crafted, they are made of mahogany, cherry, burlwood or maple. Aided with fancy linings and metallic hinges, they guarantee you safety as they come with a lock and key. You will usually find them measuring around 12 inches in length. But there are bigger sizes available if you happen to need more space. For an average well-built wooden chest, you might spend around $225. The ones that have vintage value are nearly $350. But if you looking for something a little less costly, there are starters one can find for $100.
But sometimes, even a chest is not enough. A Jewelry Armoire is a fantastic idea for those who have, let us, something little more; a rather large collection of fine necklaces for example. These armoires are more like a piece of furniture.
The Jewelry Armoire:
You find them in two varieties: the dresser top and floor standing. The former is one that looks like a tall box with sides that swing out. These swing out sided are meant to hang your necklaces. For other pieces like earrings, bracelets, etc. you have drawers.
The jewelry armoires measure around 10 to 14 inches in height and nearly the same in width. But this is only the average size.
Concerning the pricing, the range starts from $100 and goes around $300.
But if even this is not big enough for you, do not be disappointed.
Floor Standing Armoires:
These are not limited to storing jewelry only. You can find places to store scarves and lingerie. Found in cherry wood and oak, they can easily blend in to your other furniture pieces in the bedroom. These are of course little more expensive than the rest. The price ranges from $200 to $500.
Hopefully, you have found the right one that will suit your collection. Remember, your precious jewelry deserves a worthy place to be stored in.
