The Complete Guide to Jewelry Boxes

A jewelry box isn’t just an aesthetically pleasing way to store your necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. It is an investment in the longevity of your pieces. Whether your collection includes fine diamonds, cherished heirlooms, or your everyday go-to pieces, a well-designed jewelry box keeps everything organized, accessible, and protected from damage. At Allurez, we know that how you store your jewelry is just as important as the jewelry itself. Discover the benefits of using a jewelry box, the different types available, and how to choose the right one to match your lifestyle, collection, and personal style.

Benefits of Using a Jewelry Box

If you keep your jewelry in the original display box or packaging, you may wonder whether a jewelry box is necessary. There are several reasons for storing your bracelets, earrings, and necklaces in one place.

Protection: A jewelry box keeps your collection dust-free and can reduce tarnishing. There are many airborne particles in your home – from candle emissions and essential oil diffusers to aerosol cleaning sprays and dirt. By keeping your jewelry covered at all times, pieces may require less maintenance.

Organization: Seeing all of your jewelry pieces in one place makes it simple to accessorize for the day. You can also notice what your collection is missing or use it to gather gift ideas. Additionally, most jewelry boxes feature multiple compartments, which help prevent tangling and damage.

Space Saver: While a jewelry box does take up counter space, having all of your pieces consolidated in one container is more effective than dealing with stacks of individual cases.

Safety: Jewelry boxes are easily picked up and moved, so relocating your collection to a safe or more secure area is straightforward. 

Types of Jewelry Boxes

When you think of a jewelry box, do you think of an ornate wooden fixture displayed on a dresser or vanity? Maybe you think of the wind-up musical style from your childhood. Jewelry boxes come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and designs. You can personalize them to fit your needs and aesthetics while capitalizing on the benefits of jewelry protection and organization. Explore the top categories of jewelry boxes and our bestsellers by type.

Travel Jewelry Boxes

If traveling with your jewelry gives you anxiety, a travel case is the perfect solution. You want accessories for your trip but don’t want to take the risk of losing something or a treasured piece getting damaged. 

Our Allurez Jewelry Travel Case is compact yet still holds all the pieces you’ll need for your trip. The lid is fashioned with hooks for necklaces and chains. The bottom portion is divided into sections for earrings and rings. A divider keeps the two sections separated to prevent scratches. The entire travel jewelry box is crafted from vegan leather, making it both durable and easy to clean. Its full zipper enclosure ensures your jewelry is safe and protected for your entire journey.

Wood Jewelry Boxes

For a more classic look, an antique-inspired jewelry box is the right choice. These units are stunning and serve as both a home decor fixture and a functional piece. Wooden jewelry boxes are typically larger, making them ideal for individuals with extensive collections. 

Our Burlwood Inlay Jewelry Chest has a compartment for everything. The inside is lined with faux suede to prevent snagging and ensure your jewelry has a gentle surface to lay on. The sides of the chest swing out with added hanging hooks to keep your bracelets and necklaces neatly organized and detangled. Rails on the top are perfect for earrings, and the middle section holds rings, watches, bracelets, brooches, and more. 

Contemporary Jewelry Boxes

If you prioritize sleek, modern design, explore our more contemporary options. These units offer the same flexible and secure storage options in a more toned-down aesthetic.

Our Birdseye Wood 3-Level Jewelry Box boasts a clean, straight-lined design. There are several compartments in this unit, including an upper section of dividers and two drawers. The lid has a mirror for easy accessorizing. This box also locks so you can have peace of mind knowing your jewelry is safe and secure. It is available in your choice of maple or walnut finish, both of which deliver a modern and minimalist appearance.

Watch Jewelry Boxes

For timepiece collectors, a watch jewelry box is a must. The top window gives you a bird’s eye view of all your watches, so it is easy to pick the perfect one for today’s outfit. These specialized jewelry containers turn your collection into a work of art, and their compact design won’t take up a lot of space on your dresser or closet shelf.

Our Matte Carbon Fiber Eight-Watch Box is visually appealing and roomy enough to fit oversized timepieces. Each compartment comes with a vegan leather cushion that protects your watch band. The top of the unit is glass, and the rest of the watch box is finished in black, vegan leather. It is durable, functional, and a dream for any watch collector. 

How to Choose the Right Jewelry Box

With so many jewelry boxes to choose from, selecting one can seem overwhelming. There are several factors to consider before deciding what to buy.

First, look at your jewelry collection. What do you own the most of? If your collection is mostly rings, you will want a unit that offers ring organization. In contrast, a necklace connoisseur should prioritize spots to hang each chain to avoid tangles. Additionally, you want a jewelry box that holds everything you have with room to expand. You will likely purchase or receive more pieces, so choosing a jewelry box that is too small is a concern.

Next, you must think of where your jewelry box will be displayed. Choose a style that complements the room. For example, if you’re going to place it in your bedroom with lots of wood tones, select a unit in a similar or contrasting finish.

Finally, consider how you want your jewelry organized. What makes the most sense for your lifestyle and routine? For example, if you wear the same pieces every day, it might be wise to get a smaller jewelry box for your day-to-day accessorizing and a separate, larger unit for what you wear on special occasions.
