34 Rather Attractive Jewelry Boxes for All Sorts of Tastes
As a jewelry collector, I want to know where every one of my necklaces, bracelets, and rings is at all times. The solution: a good jewelry box. Truly, a jewelry box is one of the most important investments you can make (beyond a chain) — not only does it help you keep your costume “diamonds” from your real diamonds, it sits prettily on your dresser, too. If you’ve been on the hunt for especially nice-looking jewelry boxes, you’ve come to the right place. Here, I’ve rounded up options for all sorts of tastes, including one inspired by an antique sewing box and another made from the “Panama” leather used for Smythson’s planners. And if you’re looking for more storage, we have a guide to the best jewelry organizers, too.
