The Uses of A Small Jewelry Box
Have you always wanted a jewelry armoire but resisted buying one because you don’t have sufficient space to keep it? The mini jewelry box offers the perfect solution to store all your small and dainty pieces of jewelry.
There are several small, but exquisitely created, wooden boxes that are ideal for display on top of your dresser as well as for travel. It can easily enhance your existing furniture with its charming exterior. A box carved out of cherry, burlwood maple, or mahogany will match any decor.
If you like a traditional and ethnic look, choose any Oriental jewelry box to add a vintage aura to your room. And any European antique box, or even a replica, would look great on your dresser if you are trying to achieve a Victorian ambience.
It is also convenient to carry your jewelry in a small box while traveling. It organizes your jewelry, reduces clutter, and makes each piece easily accessible. Although many people prefer fabric jewelry pouches for travel, carrying a wooden jewelry box is like taking a favorite piece of your home with you.
Small jewelry boxes make great gifts for all occasions. A small heart-shaped jewelry box covered with velvet and lined with satin, is a big hit on Valentine’s Day and also on all those special anniversaries. It can also be used as a safe repository for cherished family heirlooms. Nothing, however, beats a musical jewelry box as a gift for little girls.
Many jewelry stores package their jewelry in tiny hand-carved wooden boxes with their name or logo engraved on the lid. This serves as a reminder to the customer to go back to the same jewelers and also allows an easy method of storing the new jewelry.
Both men and women enjoy collecting small jewelry boxes from far off countries as a hobby. The compact handcrafted wooden boxes are reminiscent of royal families and precious and rare jewelry. Most of the boxes are used as beautiful showpieces, and not as jewelry storage options, meant as ice-breakers at cocktail parties.
If you are looking to just store your necklaces or delicate chains, you could opt for a small box lined with velvet or satin, and with sufficient compartments with tiny hooks to drape the necklace on. And if you are looking to just store your ring collection, a rectangular or square jewelry box lined with a smooth fabric and several rows with ring slots, should be just right.
Alternatively, a miniature jewelry armoire will not occupy much space and at the same time provide you with sufficient drawers, trays, compartments, and doors with hooks to organize all your jewelry in one place.
