Most people don’t think about jewelry boxes for males, but believe it or not, males need places to keep their jewelry also. Most men prefer the leather or wooden style boxes over the more ornate ones. If purchasing for male, check out leather jewelry boxes and wooden jewelry boxes for ideas and tips.

Females like pretty much any jewelry box if it fits there style, so we can’t help you what your special persons style preferences are. However, a good indicator is look at the colors in her bathroom… are they pastels or light colors? Then you may want to check out some more of the ornate or jewelry boxes with fringe (dainty edging and intricate designs) and pastel colors. Also, you’ll want know where they intend on keeping the jewelry box and looking at the decor in that particular room. Sometimes the atop the bedroom dresser is the place they’ll likely want to keep their jewelry box, so look at the surrounding knick-knacks and get a feel for what their particular style is.

How much jewelry do they have?
This will determine what size of jewelry box you’re looking for so you’ll want to check out all types of boxes for the different sizes. Also, if the person doesn’t have a lot of jewelry yet, you may want to think about jewelry gift boxes.

Where will the jewelry box be stored?
When thinking of jewelry boxes, most people think of them sitting atop a dresser or on the bathroom counter. But depending on the amount of jewelry, which will in turn determine the size and shape of jewelry box, it can be kept about any place. Some jewelry boxes, or jewelry armoires, even stand as high several or the height of a dresser. So before purchasing a jewelry box, it’s a good idea to have in mind where it will be stored.

How old is the person you’re buying the jewelry box for?
Is the person a child or adult? Children and adults obviously have different tastes and uses for a jewelry box. Children seem to go through phases on what they like and dislike so keep that in mind. Also, if purchasing a jewelry box for a child, consider if you want them to cherish it as a keepsake or simply use until they outgrow the design or size. Also, you may consider jewelry gift boxes for children. Obviously older person will have more jewelry so the size is most likely to be larger.

Does the person currently have a jewelry box?
If the person already has a jewelry box then they will have some great ideas of what they do and do not like about their current one. This can be a great resource in getting them something they really like. Although you need to be discreet about it if you want it to be a surprise! A good look at their handbags may also give you a good idea of their style preferences.

What is your budget?
Jewelry boxes come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, functionality, and design. Likewise so does the price tag. As mentioned above in the section on children, it’s a good idea to know if you want the jewelry box to be an air loom or just purchasing for functionality. A good rule of thumb is to not spend more on the jewelry box then the jewelry it will be holding. Now with that said, we don’t necessarily agree with that. What if you just met someone and they don’t have much jewelry, you want to purchase them a really nice jewelry box to hold all the jewelry you plan on giving them in the future!
