Jewelry boxes are made in several shapes and sizes. However, small jewelry boxes are in higher demand, as most jewelry is small and delicate. Small but exquisitely made jewelry boxes are perfect for such small pieces of jewelry. A ring or pair of earrings looks more beautiful when nestling in the soft velvety folds of a small jewelry box. Small heart- shaped jewelry boxes always find a lot of takers as they are perfect for gifts.
Small jewelry boxes make ideal and unusual gifts for men too. A jewelry box that is specially made to hold watches or cufflinks are perfect for men who have a taste for artistic jewelry items. Small jewelry boxes are good receptacles for small pieces of heirloom jewelry. A well made jewelry box ends up as a valued keepsake.
Jewelry boxes need not necessarily be used to keep jewelry or gift jewelry in. Artistically made pieces can be added to ubiquitous corners in your home giving the décor a lovely lift. Thoughtfully placed jewelry boxes can enhance the furnishings immediately. The jewelry box can be selected to match the furniture or to complement it. There are a variety of designs of small jewelry boxes meant for house décor to choose from.
Jewelry boxes made with mahogany, cherry or burl wood maple will go very well with almost any kind of décor. An oriental jewelry box will look at home with a vintage set up. To accentuate a Victorian look, replications of historical antique boxes can be used.
Small jewelry boxes are also used by jewelry shops for packaging jewelry for customers. Jewelry shops usually carry a stock of customized small jewelry boxes to be used whenever needed. Small jewelry boxes also make interesting gifts for little girls. They are a nice way for little girls to store trinkets. Small to medium sized musical jewelry boxes made of inexpensive material are popular gifts bought for little girls.

Did you know that some jewelry boxes can actually do more harm than good? Are you storing your jewelry the right way? Improper storage may cause damage to your precious engagement rings, necklaces and other jewelry.
To take care of your jewelry, here are some jewelry storage tips.
General Tips
Clean your jewelry before storing. This may be common knowledge. Nevertheless, it is important to say this first before the rest of the jewelry storage tips. Hair spray, perfume and perspiration may cause jewelry to become dull if not cleaned off.
Jewelry Boxes Tips
Although it is ideal to keep your precious pieces in a jewelry box, you have to choose a suitable one. Some jewelry boxes do not have securing areas to keep your jewelry from rolling, scratching or bumping into each other, so always separate your jewelry during storage. If possible, wrap them up individually in a soft cloth or pouch before storing. It is also important to make sure that the jewelry box is suitable for your type of jewelry. For example, some jewelry boxes are designed specifically for rings, some for necklaces and bracelets.
Storage Tips For Silver Jewelry
Many people know that sterling silver jewelry tends to tarnish easily. Tarnish is the result of a natural reaction between silver and the air and environment. So, to slow down the tarnishing, you can store your silver jewelry in an airtight container or zip lock bag. Other tips to consider:
Store silver jewelry together with anti-tarnish strips. These will absorb the agents that cause silver to tarnish.
Anti-tarnish pouch and cloth are also available from jewelry stores. Basically, they function like anti-tarnish strips.
You can also use silica gel as it will absorb the moisture in the air and slow down tarnishing.
Storage Tips For Necklaces And Bracelets
To prevent necklaces from tangling, you can store them in jewelry organizers, jewelry boxes or armoires. Choose those that have specifically crafted stands for hanging necklaces and bracelets. To prevent kinks, necklaces should lay flat and straight if not hung during storage.
Storage Tips For Earrings
Each pair of earrings should be in its own compartment or hang on hooks. Earring posts or clips can bend and rings can wear if they are not secured to a display or insert.

necklaces jewelry
If you are looking for a necklaces jewelry box that will accommodate numerous necklaces, we recommend a standing chest with a necklace carousel or necklace hooks. The tall chests range in height from 13 to 18 inches. We prefer the necklace carousel because it allows you to store more than one necklace on a hook and it will not diminish your ability to view your necklaces easily. The carousel also twirls allowing you to find what you are looking for quickly. The 2nd is a basic style with 3 to 5 hooks on each side of the box. You can also store more than one necklace on each hook with this style, but you loose the ability to view the necklace towards the back. The height of these chests will allow the necklaces to fully hang without a lot of "bunching" on the bottom.
We do not recommend a smaller necklaces jewelry box which allows necklaces to hang in the lid or in the back of the necklaces jewelry box. If you have a few necklaces, this style will be fine, but if you have a large necklace collection, this style will quickly become inconvenient. Mele Companies offers a great selection of necklaces jewelry boxes that will accommodate large or small collections of necklaces.
Another alternative is an Omega necklaces jewelry case. This type of case offers safe storage for your necklaces in the drawers. Each drawer can accommodate 1 to 4 necklaces, depending on thickness. The necklaces are secured by leather straps which snap into place. Wolf Designs offers a very nice leather Omega Necklace necklaces jewelry Case.
Another alternative is to purchase a style with "open" trays. The "open" tray will allow you to lay your necklaces flat on the tray. You should be able to store approximately 5 to 10 necklaces per tray with this style. This is a great alternative for someone that prefers a smaller necklaces jewelry box.
