Jewelry Boxes in Leather

If you prefer a jewelry box in a softer material, consider several options in leather. Many of our leather pieces are designed for travelers who need to bring some jewelry pieces along. Even though the leather cases are designed more for traveling, they do make nice pieces for easy storage in closets and dressers. Since many of the leather cases have clean windows, it is easy to see what it inside while keeping the pieces protected from dust.

Inside Design Compartments

When you look for the perfect jewelry box, it is more important to be concerned with the inside design rather than the exterior appearance. The goal of a good jewelry box is to protect your jewelry, so you should choose a jewelry box that is designed for the jewelry that you have. Most wooden jewelry boxes and leather cases are lined with suede, satin, or another high quality textile. If you wear your jewelry frequently, it is a good idea to buy a lining in a more durable textile, like suede. A lighter color lining will show more wear from the oils and dirt that gets on jewelry through every day wear.

Fit Your Jewelry Needs

Each jewelry box is designed for different types of jewelry. There are some boxes that have spaces just for rings, cuff links, or small earrings. The small compartments are not designed for necklaces or bracelets because of the fact that the small chains can easily get tangled. In addition we carry boxes that are designed just for watches. Many of our wooden jewelry boxes have multiple compartments with varying sizes for different types of jewelry. Some have drawers that slide open and cabinet doors that open to allow necklaces to hang from hooks.

Some have Asian style hardware, while other boxes have traditional drawer pulls. Some boxes have modern bars and others have island-style hardware. Detailed product descriptions let you know what metals the knobs and handles are made from and what decor style they are designed to match. Many of the wooden jewelry boxes are neutral in design so they can easily fit in most homes.

Jewelry Armoire Features

Men and women who have large collections of jewelry often invest in a jewelry armoire. These are free standing furniture pieces that have more space that the typical jewelry box. They usually open at the top and have a mirrored lid. Some have trays that can be removed from the top, too. Most jewelry armoires for women also have several drawers with compartments in varying styles, so you can easily store scarves, lingerie, rings, bracelets, watches, pins, and other pieces in their appropriate places. Then most jewelry armoires also have doors that open for necklace sections with hooks and pouches to safely hang and protect your favorite necklaces. While the free standing armoires cost a bit more than the typical table top jewelry box, they are worth the extra money because they are very attractive and they store a large amount of jewelry in a very safe place.
