subject: A Guide To Jewelry Boxes To Store Your Precious Accessories [print this page] When you own beautiful jewelry, whether it's costume, precious gems or antique, you want to know that it's safely stored. Jewelry boxes not only offer protection, though, they can be almost as attractive as your jewels. Keep reading for a few ideas on jewelry boxes to hold your collection of pendants, rings and bracelets, and where to look for them.
Your first stop might be a fine jeweler such as Tiffany, Kay or Zales to see what the options are and to figure out what size you'll need to hold all your jewelry. You'll also see the different styles available to help you decide which you prefer; Zales has a fine collection of boxes that will suit heirloom jewelry, for instance. If your tastes run to more contemporary pieces, you might find what you're looking for at Tiffany.
You'll find that a wood jewelry box will be the longest lasting choice, and it will also be an attractive accent to your room. Consider a fine wood lined with velvet to store your precious pieces without scratching or other damage. Many fine jewelry boxes have a mirror that makes it easier to put on necklaces and earrings. As well, look for a box that has some drawers and separated compartments or slots to help with organization.
To store heirloom jewelry that doesn't get a lot of wear, you might like a lovely hand painted storage box that complements the classic look of your accessories. Many such boxes feature lids that lift up, making it easy to access, and also ring rolls that are perfect for storing your precious rings and bands.
Leather jewelry boxes are well suited to a more contemporary style of jewelry, and also set off more exotic pieces. The Alexandra leather jewelry chest has necklace hooks, additional drawers at the bottom, and a mirror that will definitely come in handy if you're traveling with the box. The Lucille leather jewelry box and the Kitty travel case are perfect for people on the go. Their smaller size means they can fit easily into your travel baggage.
