The jewelry box is perhaps one of the most beloved items for every woman and it is difficult to maintain order among our jewelry if this element is missing. We stand in front of the mirror and want all the items to magically stand in front of us and choose the jewelry that will suit our outfit. In fact, this small box is not just a place to store items. It carefully keeps our dreams and moods and reflects our essence in a unique way, so it is important to approach the purchase of such an item seriously.
What size should we choose? It is very important before you proceed to purchase such a box to carefully consider how much jewelry you will store there. It is important to even provide space for your future belongings. The most correct way is for each type to have its own "room". What do I mean? Sort the different types of jewelry into different boxes. For example, you can choose a box only for rings and earrings. Such products can be equipped with or without hooks. It can be one that is only for bracelets and necklaces or you can get a combined one where you can collect everything in one place. However, the combined jewelry box should have a large capacity. Search carefully for such products on the Internet and if you cannot find the right size, you can always ask an experienced specialist to make a customized box according to your needs. Let's move on now.
What material should we choose? After you have determined the approximate dimensions that your organizer should have, it is time to think about the material from which it is made. This is perhaps the most important thing. Even the appearance does not matter if you have not chosen the right material. Why is this so important? It is important that your jewelry is protected from the environment. It is important to consider whether your box will be moved or carried with you on excursions, travel or will be static. It is important how it will be cleaned. Many questions that await answers. Be patient!
Wooden jewelry box. Wood is an organic material that has impressive physical properties. It has the ability to regulate humidity, which is essential for our jewelry. Humidity is enemy number 1, because of the likelihood of rust, especially when our jewelry is made of cheap and imitation materials. With a wooden jewelry box, you can be sure that your precious things will be safe. The sacrifice of wood is remarkable. Why sacrifice? Because wood absorbs moisture, but this has a bad effect on its structure, so such a box should not be washed, which is a big drawback. The nature of the material is such that it is easy to process and you can always add additional hooks for your new jewelry. In addition, such a box would fit perfectly into any interior and can be easily decorated with pearls or lined with silk or other fabric. It is enough to use hot silicone and you can personalize your item yourself. The durability of the wood ensures that even if you drop your jewelry organizer on the ground, it will not break.
What's hidden inside? Earlier in the article, we talked about the material of the jewelry box. Of course, there are models that are not lined and look the same both on the outside and inside. However, our expensive jewelry needs special care so that it does not get scratched or lose its shine, and that is why it is important that the heart of our box is "appropriately dressed". The most used lining fabrics are velvet and suede. Their properties protect against scratches, which makes them the best friends of our jewelry. In addition, the peculiarities of their texture do not allow rings or bracelets to slide freely on the bottom of the box, but keep them in place. Cotton is also a good option, but you should take into account its strong moisture absorption. Fortunately, more expensive models are sold with small hidden containers that absorb moisture and harmful compounds that cause our jewelry to darken like a sponge. In addition to the various compartments and partitions inside, you may also find a built-in mirror or LED lights to make your experience even better.
Closing mechanism and lock. The jewelry box can be opened in several ways. The most common options are magnetic clasps and zipper clasps. Of course, these are budget solutions that are not always tailored to your wishes and preferences. If you want to quickly and easily open your box and immediately have all your jewelry in front of you, I recommend that you choose a box that has sliding compartments. This way, with just a few movements, you will display your entire arsenal. Hinged models are also popular, but if you drop your box on the ground, you can scatter everything on the floor. The same applies to jewelry boxes that have a free-standing lid. This problem can be solved with a small padlock. In addition to protecting your favorite jewelry from shifting, the padlock will provide the necessary protection from "intruders". If you have little girls at home, for example, who like to stand in front of the mirror and pretend to be adults while wearing your jewelry, then a padlock is a must-have. However, if you have no one to hide your jewelry from, it would be annoying to constantly unlock and lock your magic box. And speaking of little girls, we have something for them too :)
Jewelry box for little girls. Kids should not play with expensive and fragile things, so choose products made of plastic. One of the favorite models of all girls is the ballerina jewelry box. It is equipped with a mechanism that makes the ballerina on the top of the box start spinning and looks truly magical. In addition, when you open the box, a real show begins. The music that plays is so characteristic that it can take any woman back in time and remember her childhood and her first box.
Let's say something about men, because they also need such an accessory for their expensive watches, rings, necklaces or cufflinks. Men's jewelry box is simple and clean in design. Most often, their outer part is upholstered with natural or artificial leather and the inner part contains a small number of compartments. Of course, there are men who have a larger number of jewelry and precious stones, and in this case they should choose a large box or safe. If the box is too big, it is worth reading the following lines.
How to organize a jewelry box?We all know that the number of women's jewelry is constantly growing. And at some point, the jewelry box turns out to be too narrow to hold everything. We start to randomly throw things inside and forget about the "piled up" jewels. Let's organize and tidy up our jewelry box together. First of all, take out all the jewelry and carefully examine it. If there are any that need repair or have changed color, separate them from the rest. The goal here is to reduce the number of jewelry to the maximum. You can hide unnecessary things in your wardrobe. There they will wait for better times until you find time to repair them. After your box is empty, look at all the drawers and compartments and think about how you will sort your things. Start with the jewelry that you wear every day. They should be left in a convenient and visible place so that you need minimal effort to get them. You can leave them on your nightstand or in a pretty tray at night. However, if you want them to be stored away, the best option is to put them at the top of the jewelry box, because if you put them somewhere at the bottom, you might end up moving everything around every time you move them. Accordingly, the jewelry you use the least should be hidden at the bottom. The jewelry you wear the least is probably the most expensive, so you have another reason to hide it somewhere deep at the bottom of the box. If you have a lot of necklaces and large compartments for them, you might want to consider dividing each compartment with some sort of divider. This will help you store more things and will prevent the necklaces from getting tangled up in each other. The same goes for other jewelry. The only things you can afford to cram chaotically into a section of your box are brooches.
What are the most popular brands? When talking about jewelry boxes, we cannot fail to mention brands such as "PANDORA", "Philipp Wolf", "Pottery Barn", "Stackers" and others. Each of them is distinguished by its unique design and quality workmanship.
