Jewellery Boxes 2010 Styles
Where do you keep your jewelry? Loose in the bottom of a sock? Under your undies? In your back pocket? For heaven’s sake, not out in the open on your dresser or nightstand? No, we’re sure you use a jewelry box. Although it isn’t the law, it is the best solution. You can always keep it in a safe for greater safety, but jewelry deserves a home as special as the jewelry itself. It helps to preserve, display and eases selection when you have negative 25 minutes to be out the door for that famous function. Let’s consider some options if your jewelry box could use and upgrade.
Although there are many styles available and special stands for necklaces out in the open – we even found a multi-pocketed plastic hanger for the closet – we will only focus on boxes here. They show a sense of modesty and charm that you can’t get from other jewelry storage methods. Now, let’s look at options for your rings. A common way to keep your rings is the felt squeezers that are often those used by fashion jewelry sellers in the local mall. Although this worked for them and helps them to quickly spot items that go missing, we opt for the many small boxes within a drawer. This allows the rings to lay loose and makes them easier to pick out and replace. After all, chances are that you won’t forget the rings you have and you won’t need them displayed as a shop would.
This can also work for pendants and charms, but it is often hard to pick out the smaller ones if they are in the bottom of a small box. What is the best solution? The best is to pick a box that has drawers with shallow boxes. They needn’t be too deep unless you have a large selection of brooches. This brings us to an important point.
Before shopping for a new jewelry box, it makes sense to do a bit of an inventory of your collection – not only what you currently have, but also what you plan to get in the near future. Also, more than one jewelry box is an excellent choice as it helps you to organize different items of different styles and prevents you from over-cluttering or having big open spaces. You’ll also want to look at all the beautiful styles of finishing.
The most popular are the lacquered styles. There are so many beautiful Asian styles in reds and browns as well as Egyptian styles that look ancient and give the jewelry a nice luxurious home. You may also opt for the bright colors that are more modern looking with some new designs and tiered construction. We recommend a box with a mirror inside the lid. This helps for a quick look at how this or that item may look, be it earrings or bracelets – whatever you pull out of the box in a hurry. Also, it’s not a bad idea to consider your lifestyle. If you are often in a hurry to grab something and put it on as you are running out the door, pick a jewelry box that will let you do that without disturbing all the items or causing frustration while you try to get at your favorite piece.
Buying a new jewelry box can renew your jewelry experience and remind you of pieces you have that you never wear, and also help you see what items you might want to add to your collection. Happy organizing!
