A beautiful gift of a Jewelry Box
Are you thinking about buying a jewelry box? What should you be looking for especially if you are thinking about the box as a gift? Some people look at a jewelry box for keeping their jewelry safe, but for most people it is an attractive box which is kept on display in the bedroom. If you are looking for somewhere to store your jewelry to keep it safe then the answer is simple, invest in a safe or use a safety deposit box at the bank.
A jewelry box today can be anything from a small roll to keep some items safe when travelling to the most sophisticated box to keep every piece of jewelry you posses in.
When you are considering buying a jewelry box as a gift you need to consider where the person is going to have the box. Is it to go on display? If it is, then will it blend in with their other furnishings on display? There would be no point in buying a dark wood box if all the furniture is light wood, unless you knew it was something the person wanted.
Jewelry boxes are now available in all shapes, and sizes. They are made from various materials with different decorations on them. You might be considering giving a box you have made yourself. These are so easy to do and yet it so personal that the person receiving the gift would normally love it.
You need some basic items to make your own box; first you need a box of the right size, some fabric (raw silk is always an excellent choice), fabric glue and some beads or jewels. Always take care and ensure you cover both the inside and outside of the box. Be artistic when you add the beads or jewels to the box. You are only limited by your own imagination here.
But to buy a box you might find the choice overwhelming. The first thing you need to decide is the type of box you are wanting, do you want on in wood, silver, mother of pearl or fabric. Then you will need to work through all the different choices in that material. Don't be tempted to buy the first box you see, take your time until you know you have found exactly what the person who is receiving the box would want to receive. Make the right choice and you will see them displaying it in a place of prominence rather than it being hidden away in a cupboard or closet.
