Decorative Jewelry Boxes

When your jewelry box is closed, it looks like a stack of nice books, but when you open it, it really is a jewelry box. Once that is ready to hold your favorite jewelry pieces. The lid holds a mirror that can help you see what you are trying to put on. It's great when you have a mirror with your jewelry box. That way you don't have to move from it as you decide which piece of your jewelry to wear. The to compartment actually has six compartments that help you separate your smaller jewelry pieces making them easier to find in your jewelry box. Isn't it fun when you can find a jewelry box that is functional and decorative?

How old is old enough to give a little girl her first jewelry box?

The answer to that questions depends on two things. First the individual girl you are considering and the type of jewelry box you are giving. When a little girl starts looking for something to put a few of her special items, it's time to consider a starter jewelry box. A starter jewelry box can be considered on of those paper boxes, a plastic trinket box or a plush fuzzy box.

The lids of these charming soft, fuzzy, plush-covered jewelry boxes open up to reveal handy sectioned trays and mirrors. 4 3/4" x 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" high. Sold in a pack of 4.


Something fun, but not too expensive. This way if she doesn't take care if it, it won't be a big deal. Depending on how she handles this one, will depend on when you move to the next step. The next step might be a small wood jewelry box.

Princess Mini Treasure Box

Then you might move up to a nice hand painted jewelry box. One that is not little girlish, but not totally an adult jewelry box.


Hand Painted White Jewelry Box

Is your jewelry box useful or collectilbe?


And yes, a jewelry box can be both useful and collectible. You approach the purchase of a jewelry box differently if it is to be useful that if it is just a collectible one.

If you are looking for a functional jewelry box, you need to determine what you need it to do before you go looking. It is more than how much jewelry do I need to fit into this jewelry box. Do you want some space in the jewelry box to hand up any necklaces? How many drawers do I want and deep do I want them to be?

You might also want to consider where you are putting it as well. They range from a small decorative jewelry box you can put on your dresser to a jewelry armories which are pieces of furniture.

Do I want a wood jewelry box? If I go with wood, there are many different kinds of woods and colors of those woods. Am I matching something I already have or is it going to compliment the wood already in the room.
