Making a Jewelry Box

People store away their expensive tuxedos and evening gowns with a lot of care, but when it comes to storing their jewelry, most people simply stash away their collection inside drawers, on countertops, in some random box or inside cupboards very carelessly and in a higgledy-piggledy manner after returning from a party and later on cant find accompanying pieces of a particular set.

It is important to store away your collection of jewelry carefully, safely and in one particular place so that you don’t lose them or so that they may not get damaged or stolen. Your jewelry storage needs the same amount of attention and care as your expensive attires.

One of the best places to store your jewelry is a jewelry box. Don’t try to force all your jewelry pieces into one jewelry box. You can store your rings in a jewelry box specifically made for rings and bracelets or necklaces in others designed exclusively for bracelets or neckwear. 

Or you may consider investing in a jewelry organizer which can store all your different jewelry pieces together. This is ideal for those who own few select pieces of jewelry.

Before rushing off to purchase an ornate and intricately carved jewelry casket or trying to create a simple jewelry box on your own, you need to decide what the items that will be going inside it are and what will be their quantity or size. Once you are sure about this you can purchase or make a suitable jewelry box.

The latter is made of different kinds of materials, the chief among them being wood or plastic or metal and is available in various sizes, shapes and for different storage requirements. Jewelry boxes are equipped with inlays, multiple drawers, chests, recesses, secret chambers and pretty designs. They are often fitted with tiny compartments for storing little nick nacks.

Jewelry boxes make for ideal girlie or feminine gifts. Young girls love musical jewelry boxes engraved with cartoon character themes.

Jewelry boxes for adult women are created out of costly wood like walnut, oak, maple, teak, mahogany or ceramic with glass inlays, multiple swing doors, a pretty musical chime clock and intricate patterns in front. These are extremely sturdy, protect your precious jewelry from the elements, look graceful and are showpiece decorative items by themselves.

While selecting or purchasing a jewelry box, don’t just harp on its beauty and elegance, see to it that it is functional and choose a color that will be in contrast with the color of the metal to be stored in it. Don’t choose a silver colored jewelry box for storing white metal jewelry.
