A Small Wooden Jewelry Box is A Necessity for Men
Posted in Family on June 30th, 2011 by authorYou hear someone say ‘small wooden jewelry box’ and your mind brings up images of women in front of their mirror, carefully selecting their jewelry! Block that image out for a moment and imagine instead a ruggedly handsome carved wooden box on your dresser where you can safely stash away your favorite items. The amount of time you will save every morning in looking for your things is phenomenal! Does your wife have to check if you’ve taken your keys, specs, wallet, mobile, etc every time you head out of the house? Then you are a prime candidate for an accessory or valet box, which are the terms that men prefer to use for their jewelry boxes. You just need a small compact box to plonk down your things in as soon as you reach home.
There are some really awesome boxes that are readily available which have some intricate and very masculine wood inlay, like marquetry, done on them. These boxes are usually made with one or two types of wood, and the marquetry is sometimes done with burlwood and veneers of exotic and rare trees. The kinds of wood that are generally attractive to men are dark cherry and mahogany or any dark colored wood.
If you have only regular items to store, you can keep a simple small satin or velvet lined box on your dresser. Some of these boxes have an open top where you can keep your loose change, mobile, wallet, and keys. And maybe a single drawer sectioned off neatly to hold your ring and watch, and if you use cufflinks and tiepins, there could be slots for those too.
These compact small jewelry boxes are ideal for travel too. It makes sure that you stay organized and your accessories are all in one place. You can opt for a lock facility if you plan to store an expensive ring or watch in it. There are some really intricate wooden boxes that have exquisite clasps made of brass or bronze or some other metal, to give a really classy look.
If you would prefer something more showy, you could get yourself a uniquely shaped box that looks like an old tome, a chest of drawers, or a treasure chest. It accentuates your dresser or desk and definitely enhances the look of your room. A handcrafted chest looks very impressive and easily turns into a conversation piece at parties.
There are also boxes that are exclusively designed for watches and act as a showcase with a transparent glass lid. And there are boxes just for rings, or for coin collections, or with receptacles for spectacles, keys, etc. You are sure to find a perfect box for your favorite accessory.
Whether you are buying it as a gift for someone else or for your own use, you just can’t go wrong with a perfectly handcarved wooden jewelry box!
