When choosing a jewelry box, do not be stingy, buy the most expensive one you can afford. A beautiful and high-quality jewelry box will serve you for a lifetime, and will become an interior decoration itself.
Which box to choose?
There are many options, it all depends on your financial capabilities and desires:
- The simplest boxes are made of thick cardboard and decorated with various prints and embossing.
- Caskets with elements of cardboard, MDF, textiles and leatherette are more durable, but they show that they are cheap and widely available, therefore they cannot be called interior decoration.
- Boxes made of MDF in the form of miniature cabinets and chests of drawers, chests and secretaries sometimes turn out to be very high quality and beautiful.
- Boxes made of solid pine, beech and oak, covered with stains and varnish, can serve for many years and, with careful handling, will be inherited by our descendants.
- Boxes made of mahogany and other precious woods are a real decoration of the interior.
- Boxes made of different types of wood, decorated with carvings, silver inserts with enamels and mammoth and elephant bone plates are the most luxurious and can decorate the most sophisticated interior.
- In addition to wooden caskets, there are modern and antique items made from particularly valuable materials. Caskets made entirely of carved plates of walrus and mammoth bones, silver boxes with inserts of rock crystals and other stones. These boxes are very beautiful and expensive, but they are often small and contain very little jewelry.
- Caskets made of natural stone sometimes turn out to be very beautiful and at the same time have an affordable price, only they are heavy and have one compartment where all the jewelry will lie in bulk.
When buying a new box, it is best to opt for products made of solid pine, oak and beech. Such caskets turn out to be very beautiful, durable, and at the same time, they have affordable prices even for large sizes. And yet, they have different compartments for all kinds of jewelry.
Each of these boxes will allow you to keep your jewelry safe and sound, all products will have their own place, so they will not scratch and rub each other.
Initially, jewelry boxes appeared in Babylon, Ancient Egypt and China, where wooden caskets richly decorated with carvings and precious stones were made thousands of years ago. In Russia, caskets also appeared from time immemorial. Each house had caskets, caskets and chests, only their design was different. The princes could afford rich caskets and chests, while the common people had simple things.
When choosing a new box, one must take into account an important point - where the treasure will be located. If you have a lot of expensive jewelry, it is best to hide the box in a safe where no one will see it. And if the box contains various beads and turquoise necklaces, malachite, corals and silverware, the box can be put in a conspicuous place, and then it is important that it is combined in style with other interior items.
An important point is the presence of a small lock, it will not save you from real criminals, but the “girlfriend” or some guests will not be able to get into your favorite box.
There are also floor cabinets for jewelry.
Many jewelry brands also create boxes for storing their products, which will also be a great addition to a gift.
