Jewellery boxes are a great way of storing your valuables and making sure they stay safe. With thousands of jewellery boxes on the market and with varying features, there is much to choose from. A lockable box is a great option - especially if you have a daughter! As a young girl, Mum's jewellery box is one of the first places of interest, so it is wise to prevent prying eyes. Unaware of its value, you don't want your little girl trying on your most precious jewellery.
If you decide on a lockable jewellery box always inspect the internal compartments for any sharp or damaging edges which could be exposed to the contents. The lining material should be soft to touch, providing a safe haven for your precious belongings; you should be able to imagine your jewellery being completely safe in its new home. Always be sure to buy a jewellery box that's big enough - you do not want to be stuffing too many items into each compartment or they might damage each other. Dedicated compartments allow you to separate your jewellery, making sure it stays safe and out of harms way, providing the best protection possible.
Finally, if you live in an area which is a crime and burglary hotspot, you will want to make sure you have a safe place to store your jewellery box. Sometimes, even storing the jewellery box out of view will sufficiently convince any criminals there is nothing of value in the house. If you really want to make sure nothing happens to your precious things, you can purchase a little safe to keep your jewellery box in. Safes are also excellent for storing passports and other valuables. It is unlikely you will be robbed, however - having peace of mind can be worth its weight in gold.
