From the time we are young children, we are intrigued by the magic of the jewelry box. Whether it is the young girl investigating the treasures of her grandmothers box, or the child mesmerized by the spinning dancer in her first jewelry box, the jewelry box holds a unique aura that is perfectly linked to the magic of a wedding.
Jewelry boxes are lovely gifts for brides and bridal parties. Many wedding suppliers will include a large variety of jewelry boxes with their top selling inventory. Most popular for wedding gifts are the smaller, travel-sized boxes. Styles range from antique to ultra-modern, single compartment to multi-tiered, traditional squares to small themed replicas!
Types of Jewelry Boxes
However, there are many types of boxes available. There are watch boxes, valet boxes, jewel boxes, luxury jewelry boxes, leather cases, wooden boxes, and standing cabinets with carved legs that are actual pieces of furniture!
Wooden jewelry boxes have been among the top choices for housing jewelry for many years. Popular choices today include woods such as poplar, ash, oak, teak, and mahogany. One can find simple, inexpensive boxes at local craft stores, or beautifully hand-finished and kiln-dried masterpieces.
Personalize Your Jewelry Box
Engraving jewelry boxes with names, wedding dates, or small quotes of love is another way to eternalize the occasion. Consider heart-shaped boxes, which can be simple and elegant or curved and decorated with jewels. Creative brides might want to purchase miniature wooden jewelry boxes and hand-decorate them for their bridal party. With a myriad of faux gems and pearls available at craft stores, one can create a personal yet affordable masterpiece. Presented with a jewelry surprise inside the box, they are very special gifts.
The jewelry gift box is another way to celebrate the jewelry box motif. Although jewelry gift boxes may be comprised of nothing more ornate than cardboard, they have become an art in their own right! Jewelry gift boxes come in wedding cake replicas, small bride and groom sets, or in simple fabric-covered heart shapes. They can be purchased as finished units in all their glory, or individually decorated and customized for their recipients. They are very meaningful vessels for presenting jewelry to the bridal party, the mother of the bride and groom, or the grandparents.
The jewelry box is a timeless container for holding treasures of the heart. It is both a meaningful and useful gift for the bride, bridal party, or loved ones. Whether it is presented as a simple wooden box or a flashy and ornate masterpiece, it will be treasured as a wedding day keepsake.
