Chasing Treasure: Jewelry Box Buying Guide
Buying a jewelry box involves more
than just going to the store and buying the first one that you see.
Jewelry, even costume jewelry, is an investment, so when you look for a
jewelry box, it is important to buy a jewelry box that will protect your
investment. At ChasingTreasure.com, shop jewelry boxes that meet the
needs of every jewelry connoisseur and every jewelry collection size. Choose from styles for women, men and girls.

Types of Wood Finishes
Our
wooden jewelry boxes are some of the best sellers on our website. Browse our lined jewelry boxes in a variety of different woods, like mahogany,
rosewood, walnut, oak, bubinga, maple, cherry, ebony, and many others.
In addition, you'll find jewelry boxes that have been painted white, lime green,
bright blue, pink, black, and many other colors, too. Several of our
wooden jewelry boxes come with beautiful and intricate inlays that make
them look like treasures from by-gone eras. The wooden pieces with
inlaid details look lovely on the screen, but they look even better in
person. When your wooden jewelry box arrives, you will be pleased with your
purchase.

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.

Features of Table Top Boxes
The
traditional wooden jewelry boxes are table top boxes. These look like small
chests that traditionally either open from the top or from the front.
Some of the newer designs open like cabinet doors. No matter what table
top design you choose, you will notice quickly that they all have
uniquely styled hardware that helps match the boxes style to your home.
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.
Because our jewelry boxes and armoires are so attractive, many of our
customers have difficulty choosing the best box for them. If you have
questions about certain boxes or you are trying to narrow down your
choices to fit your needs, we invite you to give us a call or send us an
email message. We will respond quickly to help you make your choice.
Favorite Designs in Maple
Many
people do choose the best jewelry box for their purpose or gift occasion ox based on the exterior appearance, then they
look to the compartments on the inside. One of the most popular and most
distinctive looking boxes are designed in maple. Our maple jewelry
boxes come in so many different varieties and color tones, it can be
challenging to see how the wood designs are related. Some of the wooden
boxes have a warm tone and some have a neutral tone that looks great in
modern homes.

Dark Mahogany Designs
Our wooden mahogany boxes
have a sense of personality. The dark wood has a smooth grain, which
makes it quite popular with fine furniture. It makes a nice wood for
storing jewelry because the bright metals look bold and bright against
the dark wood. Most of our mahogany pieces come with a dark,
burgundy-purple lining to add to the depth of the jewelry box wood
craft.

Handcrafted Artisan Boxes
Besides the large line
of wooden jewelry boxes in a variety of shapes and sizes, we have
several jewelry boxes that are considered to be artistic pieces. They
are handcrafted by artists who enjoy working with small detail and they
spare no expense on the exquisite craftsmanship that they put into the
boxes. We call this line of handcrafted boxes our luxury line because
of the high quality textiles and detailed inlay work. Many of our luxury
wooden boxes have handcrafted curves or other details can be difficult to
craft. If you do not want a wooden jewelry box, we also have a
collection of luxurious jewelry cases in leather that has been worked
with by hand.

Specialized Jewelry Boxes
If you are
looking for jewelry boxes for certain types of jewelry, we have boxes
designed just for one kind. Our store features a line of bracelet boxes for women in
attractive wood with decorative trim. These wooden boxes are perfect for
bracelets made of chains rather than bangle bracelets. If you need to
store your bangle bracelets, we have a stacking set of boxes in varying
square shapes. You'll also find boxes designed just for earrings, with small
compartments for stud and smaller hoop earrings. If you wear more
dangling earrings, choose tall jewelry boxes with places to hang
your dangling earrings. Many of our earring boxes also work nicely for
rings, but we offer special boxes just for rings. One of our best
sellers is a ring holder that is shaped like a high-heel shoe with rolls
for storage. Necklace storage tends to take more room that earrings and
rings, because necklaces need to hang. Most of our necklace storage
boxes have hooks and pouches to protect necklaces from getting tangled
and broken.

Save Your Silver
Most jewelry owners
like to keep their favorite silver pieces safe from tarnish. For this you'll want to purchase one of our exclusive
jewelry boxes that are lined with special textiles that are treated to
protect silver pieces from touching each other and from tarnishing. It
is important that you keep your silver jewelry in a dry environment.
Helping making your jewelry care easier is our goal, so if you have
several pieces of silver, we recommend a jewelry box just for those
pieces.

Locking Jewelry Boxes
Jewelry is an investment
and it is important to keep it safe from harmful handling and elements. Jewelry boxes with locking mechanisms keep prying fingers away from
your special pieces. Most of the locking jewelry boxes are wooden table top or
armoire designs, but we also have leather locking boxes that are designed for
travel. If you need to bring your jewelry with you on the road, it is
important to be able to lock the tops and drawers and we offer a variety of sizes and price ranges to meet everyone needs.

Jewelry Boxes for Young Girls and Teens
When
you are in the market for a jewelry box for a teen or young girl, we
have youthful jewelry boxes to help them store their favorite pieces of
jewelry. We specialize in ballerina music boxes, and the styles of our
musical jewelry boxes have moved beyond the simple box with one
compartment and a twirling ballerina. The beautiful music boxes for girls come
with drawers with specialized compartments, doors for necklaces, and
rolls for rings.

If you prefer to buy a silent jewelry box for
your favorite girl, we have several boxes that are more appropriate for
teens and girls. Many of our painted white wooden boxes look great in girls bedrooms; these smaller white boxes are lower in price than the more
expensive, larger armoires and table top boxes for women with large
collections of fine jewelry. Your teen or younger girl will feel special
keeping her jewelry pieces in a beautiful box from Chasing Treasure.

Highly Respected Jewelry Box Manufacturers
We are proud to feature jewelry boxes for women and men by highly regarded manufacturers. We carry all styles available by Reed & Barton, a company that has been manufacturing
jewelry boxes for nearly 200 years. Their traditional designs often
feature sterling silver or other well-made details. We also sell many wooden
jewelry chests and boxes from Giftware by Jere. The company has been
importing and wholesaling beautiful jewelry boxes and gifts for almost
40 years. They provide many gifts and jewelry products to companies like
the Smithsonian Museums and the Army/Air Force Exchange Service.
Another one of our popular brands is Mele Jewelry Box Company. This
company transitioned into making jewelry boxes after the Great
Depression when they made the boxes that presented the Purple Hearts to
soldiers; fortunately, they stayed with making jewelry boxes and they
are still making them today with over 100 years of experience in the
industry. In our store we also offer jewelry boxes from Seya, Jewelkeepers, Wolf
Designs and many more.

Price Ranges for Fine Jewelry Boxes
As
you shop for jewelry boxes, you will see that we have boxes that range
in prices from under $50 to boxes, chests, and armoires that are priced
over $350. The lower priced boxes tend to be smaller and made from more
common wood or painted wood. They lower priced boxes also usually have
fewer design details. When you move up in price, you will get more
design details, bigger compartments and more specialized compartments,
and less common wood with more expensive findings. Most of the armoires
are in the price range, simply because they are larger pieces of
furniture. We also have extremely attractive, wooden handcrafted boxes in
higher price ranges, too. Whether you give a jewelry box, chest, or
armoire from ChasingTreasures.com as a gift or to use for yourself, you
will quickly see how beautiful they are. Even the less expensive pieces
look like they are expensive treasures.
