What is a wooden jewelry box? It goes without saying that a wooden jewelry box is designed to safely store your precious jewelry. Some jewelry can be priceless, and some jewelry can be kept in exquisite wooden jewelry boxes that are worth more than the jewelry itself.
Would Queen Marie Antoinette have been happy to keep her crown jewels and the french blue (the famous french blue diamond) on your nightstand? Or even in a nightstand drawer? Not absolutely not! She had a special place for these beloved items in her famously extravagant and beautiful jewelry cabinets. Both were huge pieces of furniture in themselves. They were made and designed by skilled hands and were given as gifts by the people of Paris during the 18th century. They are now on display at Windsor Castle and Versailles, and are now probably worth far more than the jewels she once housed.
Queen Marie Antoinette held extremely high standards during her day in the 1700s and expected nothing but the best for her jewelry. Anything less than fair would not have been acceptable in her world of luxury, taste, and artistic sophistication. Years later it was the Industrial Revolution that started the concept of mass-producing jewelry boxes at low cost. This allowed women everywhere, regardless of class, to own such an exquisitely crafted item. Delicate and beautiful designs were no longer only available to the upper class. They were now available all over the world, and centuries later, they are still going strong and in high demand.
All women like to feel like they own something precious. No one would resent the thought of owning a diamond ring or diamond earrings, and the thought of owning a gorgeous jewelry box to match is just as alluring. Every woman deserves a piece of the stunning beauty that Queen Marie Antoinette so fondly sought.
Modern jewelry boxes vary greatly in size and design. They can come in the style of small trinket boxes to large chests. Depending on how much jewelry you have determined, the size of the jewelry box you may want to look at. Some are just small chests. Once you open the top, it reveals the interior compartment where you can safely store your gems. Other boxes are more complex and consist of numerous drawers and different compartments. You can find places to hang necklaces and ring rolls to hold them securely. Some even come with individual travel cases, allowing you to store any jewelry you decide to take on vacation. Some are made of leather, some are made of wood or mirrored glass, and some have that vintage design that makes them look grand and luxurious. The designs are endless.
But no one can deny that a wooden jewelry box makes a excellent gift. Whether it’s a gift to your mother, wife, girlfriend, sister, or even a friend, you’re guaranteed to put a smile on your face. They will love it. As they will house some of your most precious belongings, they will be treasured for years, and their beauty and magnificence, even in their simplicity, will ensure that the jewelry box is loved and appreciated as much as the contents themselves.
