Jewellery boxes come in various sizes and styles, all with the goal of protecting, organising and displaying jewellery. Boxes made specifically for jewellery can be made wood, leather, metal or various types of fabric. Some boxes are intended specifically for protecting and organising your jewellery while you travel, while others are intended to compliment the decor or your home. Most jewellery boxes made with women in mind, but there are also jewellery boxes for men and jewellery boxes for children. The primary concern in selecting a jewellery box is to think about how much and what type of jewellery you have, how you want to use your jewellery box, and then set a budget.

Wood
Wooden jewellery boxes are often the largest. Most contain several drawers and possibly one or two cabinets with glass or wood doors. They're frequently constructed of oak or mahogany, but other woods such as teak or burl wood may be used. Women's jewellery boxes can range from very small chests, designed, to tuck into a drawer to large freestanding armoires. Most boxes fall in the middle range and provide ample storage all types of jewellery. The drawers may slide out or lift out. Wooden boxes have a high gloss lacquer. Some are intricately carved, while others are sleek and simple. Drawers are usually lined with velvet and may have necklace hooks or a mirror inside the lid.

Fabric
Fabric jewellery boxes are becoming increasingly popular. Usually smaller than wooden boxes, they're frequently lined with a combination of satin and velvet. They come in a wide range of colours, so can be made to match the decor. Fabric boxes also tend to be more inexpensive jewellery boxes than those made of wood.

Leather
Boxes for men's jewellery are simpler than women's versions. Typically leather-bound, they may be a single layer tray with compartments or two layers, designed to hold watches and cuff links. These boxes make superb gifts for the "man who has everything."

Travel Jewellery Boxes
Travel boxes for jewellery need to be specially designed to ensure the jewellery will remain secure and organised. Popular styles include the small locking box with lined compartments and the fabric roll.
Travel boxes usually have compartments that touch the inside of the lid or slide out of the case. The compartments are divided into one large one for necklaces and two or more smaller ones for earrings, rings and bracelets. Jewellery rolls have several plastic zippered compartments of varying sizes. They're then rolled up and fastened with a ribbon to keep it secure. Both of these styles have advantages and disadvantages. The roll tucks easily into a suitcase but provides less protection while the box takes up more space but provides better protection for expensive pieces.

Childrens Jewellery Boxes
Children's jewellery boxes are usually more about the box than its contents. Boxes are often simply wood or cardboard, wrapped in a character's image. Inexpensive jewellery boxes have a simple latch. When opened, they play a song for a twirling ballerina. Boxes suitable for an older child may leather or fabric bound. They're often lined with satin rather than velvet with one to three compartments and a mirror.

What to Look For
A jewellery box is much more than just a box. It can be an elegant, ornate work of art designed to cradle and protect your valuable treasures. A jewellery box signifies wealth and sophistication, and can highlight the beauty, grace and elegance of a simple piece of jewellery. However, choosing the wrong jewellery box for your pieces can take away from the grace and elegance of your collection. The design and make of your jewellery box is very important if you want to create the perfect ambience each time you open it to select a necklace or ring. It needs to work with your jewellery as a whole, highlighting your collection's style and beauty.

Keep the following in mind as you shop for your box and you'll have an easier time finding one that fits your collection:

Keep You Whole Collection In Mind
When selecting a jewellery box, it's important to keep your jewellery collection as a whole in mind. Before you embark on your journey for the perfect jewellery box, stand back and look at your collection. Look for common themes or colours. The appearance of your jewellery as a collection is an important part of selecting a jewellery box. You want your jewellery box to complement your collection's appearance, not detract from it. Find one that fits the type of jewellery you have, goes with the primary colour of your collection, and accentuates the seductive quality of your pieces.

Don't Clutter
The amount of jewellery one has will vary from person to person. A jewellery box that's obviously too small for your collection will make your precious treasures seem cheap and unflattering. Select a jewellery box that allows ample room for each piece. Allot enough space between each piece you have so that each item's beauty and style not only shines forth independently, but also contributes to the overall appearance of the collection.

Two Boxes?
Depending on the size and varying styles of your jewellery collection, you might want to separate your pieces into two separate boxes. Separating your collection will allow you to establish two separate "looks" for your pieces rather than trying to find a box that matches your entire collection. For example, if you have an equal amount of gold and silver pieces, get a box for your gold and another one for your silver. Having two separate jewellery boxes will allow you to expand the glamour of your collection, without lessening its general appeal and appearance. Trying to force your complete collection into one box could lessen its striking affect and make everything appear jumbled and mismatched.

The specific type of jewellery box you select depends on your jewellery collection. You need to consider the look, size and variation of your pieces and select a box that fits well with your jewellery as a whole.
