How to Choose a Jewelry Box?
Choose Wood
There are some gorgeous enamel and metal jewelry boxes out there, but when you want something that will keep your items safe and sound, consider wood.
Well-treated wood prevents moisture buildup, and it also provides a small amount of insulation for your jewelry.
In addition, wood has a lovely natural finish that provides deep and rich color all on its own.
Choose a lovely red oak, a pale poplar or pine, or even a gorgeously decadent ebony jewelry box for your collection.
Consider Your Jewelry Collection
How many pieces of jewelry do you own? This is a great time to look at your jewelry and take a quick inventory.
How many necklaces, rings, and bracelets do you have, and how should they be stored? For example, if you mostly own rings, you will find that you should choose a jewelry box that has slots where you can put them.
If you mostly have small bracelets, consider a jewelry box that has lots of room in its drawers. If you have more necklaces than anything else, you may need a type of jewelry box known as an armoire, which has an upright design and plenty of places to hang necklaces.
One of the main purposes of your jewelry box is to hold your jewelry without allowing it to get tangled.
Touch the Lining of the Box
If you are buying a jewelry box from a brick-and-mortar store, you will be able to handle it beforehand. Open the box and touch the lining. It should be completely lint-free and soft to the touch. An abrasive lining will scratch your jewelry, making it look old before its time.
If the jewelry box’s lining feels harsh to the touch, pass it by. On the other hand, if you are in love with everything but the lining, you can choose to store your more delicate gemstones, such as pearls and opals, in jewelry bags before putting them into the box.
To Lock or Not to Lock
If you are truly concerned about the safety of your jewelry, you should place the box in a temperature-controlled safe in your home, in a locked room, or in a safe deposit box at the bank.
In the event of a home invasion, a jewelry box can be easily picked up and removed from the premises. However, if your primary concern is young children, a simple lock on the box is typically all you need.
There are excellent jewelry boxes with childproof locks, which can keep your jewelry safe from meddling hands.
Box Design
Make sure that the jewelry box you choose matches your home design and décor.
For example, if you favor a very traditional Victorian design, choose a box with plenty of gorgeous details and scrolling decorations.
If you prefer something that is a great deal more modern, choose a very sleek box that is on the plainer side. If you are someone who adores their jewelry, make sure that you have a fantastic place to keep it. A good jewelry box will make sure that your jewelry is safe for a lifetime.
