The global jewelry market was estimated at over $278 billion for 2018. If you have ever bought a piece of jewelry, you will likely benefit from a safe and secure way to store it. To prevent loss, pieces becoming entangled, or plain disorganization, keep your precious jewelry and heirlooms in an appropriate and stylish jewelry box.
When you want to adorn yourself with the jewelry you love, you won’t always have time to pull the pieces apart if they are jumbled together. And, if you have many pieces, choosing what to wear will be even more challenging if they aren’t laid out in an orderly fashion. Here’s what you need to know to find your best jewelry box.
There are several factors to keep in mind when you’re searching for the best jewelry box. The materials the box is made of, both inside and out, will be a significant aspect of your choice. So are its weight, size, and any safety features it might include. To help you out, below is a list of the factors you need to know.
When it comes to interiors of jewelry boxes, all natural fabrics like silk, cotton, and wool are some of the best materials because they don’t contain harmful chemicals. Velvet, made from silk, rayon, or cotton (also called velveteen), is also a desirable fabric. PVC pockets are handy because they allow you to see what is stored in each pouch.
The exterior design of any jewelry box is less critical to the safekeeping of the contents. When it comes to outward appearance, your taste is the more significant consideration. Leather is frequently used for its durability and timeless chic. Faux leather is also popular due to its affordability and appeal to people with ethical objections to animal products. Regardless of how the box is designed, the primary purpose should be keeping the pieces separate and avoiding entanglement and damage.
The size of jewelry boxes can vary quite a bit. For the most part, the number of items you have to store will dictate what size box you’ll need, but it would be best if you also considered how many new pieces you might purchase in the future. If you know for certain that you will want only a few pieces of jewelry for the foreseeable future, a box the size of a pencil case will likely do the trick.
For more extensive collections, the box size will have to increase accordingly. A variety of storage styles, like ring holders, necklace clasps, and brooch pouches, will allow you to vary the types of new items you purchase in the future. Jewelry boxes can range from a single ring box, approximately 1½-inch cubed, anywhere up to an entire walk-in closet dedicated for jewelry storage. For most people, a box that fits comfortably on a dresser or vanity will be sufficient.
Locking mechanisms, though not essential, can be useful in keeping curious children and pets from playing with and losing, or, even worse, swallowing your valuables. Storing your jewelry box in the closet or atop a shelf might be enough of a deterrent. Having a hasp on smaller jewelry boxes is an excellent feature because small cases can be easily knocked to the floor, possibly spilling the contents.
When traveling, snap straps can be accidentally detached during transportation, so it’s better to have a fully zippered case for securely holding your jewelry in place. If you own any fine jewelry, consider keeping these pieces in a separate, more secure place from your everyday items like a home safe or a secret storage spot. For fine jewelry you wear daily, have a dedicated place and container in your bedroom (in a small box on a nightstand, for example) where you routinely keep them.
Considering both cost and the factors listed above, the available choices were curated and refined to a selection of what is hopefully the gold standard.
