Choosing a Jewellery Box For Your Home That Will Work With Your Style

Many people love jewellery and enjoy putting it on to feel good about themselves and others around them. But when it comes to choosing a jewellery box, what do you look for? Do you need a big, elegant box or one that has been made by a renowned manufacturer? Which colours do you prefer? There are so many questions to consider when buying a jewellery box

When you first start acquiring jewellery, you may be happy to keep each item in its original box supplied at the time of purchase. Our jewellery boxes are beautiful and sturdy, and we understand why many people do this. Over time, as your jewellery collection grows, the number of small boxes and their space will probably become an issue. That's when you will need to buy a jewellery box!

No matter how small or large your jewellery collection, you can find something that will work for you, and this list of 10 tips for choosing a jewellery box has some great ideas to help you along.

1-Select a style

When looking for a jewellery box, it is essential to select a style you like. You should consider the design of the jewellery box and how it will fit in with your home decor. The jewellery box will look better if it matches the style of your home or at least the dressing table where it will probably be placed when not hidden away.

2-Select a size

It is also essential to consider the size of the jewellery box. This will depend on how much jewellery you plan on storing in the jewellery box. You may want to buy one small enough to keep just a few pieces or types of your jewellery. Many women like to have a box for items such as rings and earrings and another for necklaces and bracelets. Or, you may want to buy a large jewellery box that you can fill up with your entire collection.

3-Consider the size of your necklace

Before buying a jewellery box, you may want to consider your necklaces’ size. You probably want to get a jewellery box that will fit your necklace; otherwise, you need a necklace holder.

4-Select a finish

When you are buying a jewellery box, it is important to consider the finish of the jewellery box. You can choose from various finishes, including polished or brushed silver, wood, or fabric covered.

5-Consider the design

You can also choose to have a simple design or a complicated design. The design of the jewellery box will depend on how elaborate you want to make it. You can also choose to have a plain or patterned box. One point to consider above all others in terms of the design is that it should have compartments to keep your jewellery from damaging and scratching other pieces. Remember, a diamond will scratch metal and softer precious stones. 

Make sure that the dividers are soft. A cushioned satin or a velvet type finish are ideal to ensure that the dividers cannot damage your beautiful jewellery. Look out for boxes where the dividers can be rearranged and resized to suit different types of jewellery.

6-Consider the price

The price of the jewellery box is important to consider. You can buy a jewellery box for a reasonable price or spend a lot of money on a fancy jewellery box. If you want to save money, you can buy a basic jewellery box and add a personal touch with a picture of yourself or recover the box with fabric and decorations.

7- How will you use your jewellery box?

Most women keep their jewellery box on a dressing table, and, in such a case, the box does not need to be very robust. It will rarely be moved. 

More security-minded people will want to keep their jewellery safe from thieves and away from visitors’ eyes. In this case, you will need to buy a box that is strong enough to be moved from place to place. If the jewellery box is not well-constructed, it will likely be damaged when moved.

If you travel, you might want to buy a small box to contain just the items you intend to travel with. This might not be a rigid box but rather a softly padded pouch.

8-Choose a colour that suits your style

When choosing a jewellery box, you should consider what colour will look good in your home. You can also choose a colour that will go well with other colours in your bedroom or dressing room. 

9-Consider a jewellery box with a lock

If you want to keep your jewellery safe and secure, you should think about getting a jewellery box with a lock. If you plan to keep your jewellery out of sight, perhaps in a wardrobe or under the bed, you can probably get away with a basic lock, but if your jewellery box is on display, consider a box with a sturdier lock.

10-Choose a type that is easy to clean

When you are buying a jewellery box, you should make sure that you choose a type that is easy to clean. Even with the best of care, your jewellery box will pick up dust ad debris from the jewellery itself and from the environment in which the box is kept. A box with removable dividers will be easier to clean.

At All Diamond, we do not sell jewellery boxes. We have found the best values and range of choices online using Amazon, Etsy or eBay. Etsy is particularly good for artisanal and customised designs. 

In conclusion, it’s important to remember that jewellery boxes are an investment, and therefore, you want to make sure that you’re buying the right one for your specific needs. A jewellery box is more than just a means to store your jewellery; it’s also a way to display it to your guests and present it to your family. You should always look for something that’s beautiful and unique.
