Jewelry Boxes And Boxes

So you want to buy your girl a jewelry box and not sure where to start? You’ve come to the right place. Now, first off there’s a few things you want to take into consideration or tips you can try to help you find the right jewelry box.

• What Kind of jewelry does she like?
  When shopping for girls jewelry boxes, knowing what style of jewelry your girl likes will help. Here’s an example. Say she likes turquoise, odds are she likes natural stones, which you can tell by looking around at any jewelry she has purchased for herself. Armed with that information, most jewelry box retailers will be able to help you in picking out the right jewelry box. Now this information alone may not provide the exact taste of your girl, but it will hope when putting that information together with these other categories.
• What type of furniture does your girl like or have?
  Does your girl like old fashioned wood or more modern type furniture? What type of jewelry accessories does she already own or like? A man should really pay attention and be aware of what styles his girl likes. Odds are your girl may already have a jewelry box of some kind, find out what she does or doesn’t like about that particular box.
• The next time you’re out shopping together, try and see if you can get her around some jewelry boxes (this shouldn’t be too hard). But try not to make it obvious what you’re doing! Just casually start looking at them, act like you’re interested in them and when she comes over to take a look, ask her some subtle questions like, “what do you think about this one?” or “I’m not sure I like these frilly edges, what about you?”OK, if you never go shopping with your girl, you may have a hard time pulling this one off without it looking obvious.
• Ask one of her friends what she likes.
• If it’s for your daughter, again, ask one of her friends what she likes.

When purchasing a jewelry box, especially for an older girl, it’s important to get something she likes. But remember, it is a gift and by putting some thought into it, we’re sure she’ll be excited and happy to get whatever you buy. We also encourage you to check out our main page at Jewelry Boxes and Boxes for some more questions and guidance on purchasing the right box.

If you own a jewelry store or some type of arts and crafts business, you my benefit greatly from customized jewelry boxes. This is where wholesale jewelry boxes comes in. Whether you want ring boxes engraved with your company or store logo or seen a personalized jewelry gift box, there’s a wholesaler out there for you.

Let’s take a look at a couple online jewelry box wholesale shops and see what they have to offer.

• Fetpak – Has a little bit of everything in the jewelry box category. From simple cardboard boxes to classy velvet jewelry boxes. Its seems if you’re looking for wholesale jewelry boxes that fit the more arts and crafts type this may be where you end up. Although Fetpak offers a large variety, their website has a lot to be desired and is difficult to navigate. Although they do offer significant price savings if your order exceeds 1,000 items. It was not obvious right away if the buyer can get personalized gift/jewelry boxes in the smaller sizes so we’re not sure if that option is available here. Honestly their website just made us want to leave.
• Noble Packaging – This site we really enjoy for wholesale jewelry boxes. The categories are easy to navigate and it seems that every item has the option of custom imprinting which makes personalizing your jewelry and gift boxes easy. Noble also has many designer lines and offers all types of boxes from velvet, wood, to leather. Although you may spend a little bit more here, most items are great quality.
• JewelrySupply.com – The first thing we noticed about jewelrysupply.com was the unique categories of wholesale jewelry boxes. From crystal type boxes to cute little boxes with roses on the lids, they have a lot of unique inventory. Another nice feature is they list with every item what your savings are for purchasing in larger quantities. From velvet to rosewood veneer they have a little bit of everything. The ability to customize the packaging wasn’t easily found and we did not notice it during the checkout process. We’ve sent them an email to inquire about their customization services and will update this when we hear back from them.

Most jewelry box wholesalers will provide you with many different options (leather jewelry boxes, wooden jewelry boxes, etc.) for you to package your jewelry and gifts. We’ve seen some pretty unique uses for jewelry boxes also, meaning they don’t have to be used just for selling or presenting jewelry.

What is a jewelry gift box exactly? You hear all types of buzz about “gift boxes” which is really a generic term and can mean about anything. You know the little boxes that men generally open up when presenting something like an engagement ring to a women? Those are considered jewelry gift  boxes. However, we also believe that most of the people searching the internet for the term “jewelry gift boxes” aren’t looking just for those little ring boxes. So we’re going to look at many different categories of what we feel would constitute a jewelry gift box.

For one, wouldn’t the term mean jewelry as a gift in some type of box? That’s sort of what we thought, which would be along the lines of what we first mentioned. Most often when you purchase a piece of jewellry from a jewelry store they’re going to put it in some type of box for you. So why would anyone want to search the internet for that type of box when they’re getting one already? Most generally, jewelry store owners would search the internet looking for wholesalers of ring boxes or gift boxes which can be customized for their particular store. But, on other occasions, there a lot more to some of these boxes than what you get from your local jeweler.

Say you found a great deal on a piece of lovely jewelry while traveling and needed something magnificent to present it in. You could go online and find that perfect gift box! A good rule of thumb however, if you’re purchasing a gift box for just presentation purposes, the gift box should not cost more than the jewelry. However, you may find that a gift box for the jewelry your giving could add to the value of the gift. Like say you purchased one of the cool wooden jewelry boxes with the new jewelry tucked inside as a surprise. Thus two great gifts in one! Or one of the nice travel sized leather jewelry boxes is another great idea!

There is a fine line between a jewelry gift box that is just for presentation, and one that is to be functional after the gift of jewelry is given. So you really need to put some thought into what exactly your gift box is going to be used for. If it’s just a one time presentation piece, use something simple. However, if you want the box to be remembered years from now as much as the jewelry it contained, then look for some a little more functional with drawers, necklace hanger, or if it’s a ring, maybe a small ring box made to hold many rings.

When we first started looking at leather jewelry boxes, personally I thought of black leather and something with a Harley logo on it. But once we got into these leather boxes, there’s some pretty cool stuff here!

Just like wooden jewelry boxes, leather boxes come in all shapes and sizes and with different features depending on what you’re looking for. One thing that stands out with the leather jewelry box is, they seem to be geared more for travel and on the go jewelry storage then the other jewelry box categories. That’s not to say there is not some very fancy leather boxes out there. Most leather boxes have straps or fold close with a latch and have handles for traveling.

Leather jewelry boxes range in price from under $75 to several hundred. The boxes are actually made out of wood or some other composite material and then wrapped with leather. Some of the different types of leather you’ll see on these boxes are suede and died leather of all colors.

A few of our favorite leather jewelry boxes  are:

• Marilyn Leather Jewelry Box/Case – This lists for around $50 through most online retailers and is stylish, petite, and great for travel. But can also work good for home also. The powder blue color is very popular plus it’s got crocodile textured accents in the darker leather.
  
• Milano Leather Jewelry Box/Case – Most women are familiar with the Milan’s famous fashion houses, this jewelry box is reminiscent of those old fashion houses. One thing about this box is that classic style and looks with jewelry boxes never seem to go out of style. This is one of our favorites and you really can’t go wrong with it. This box generally sales for around $75, so you’re still under $100 but are getting many great features including areas for rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces.
  
• Cheyenne Leather Jewelry Box/Case – We love this leather box because it resembles a small suitcase yet is still stylish in it’s look. It has tan light suede on the exterior and interior with dark brown leather accents. Another really cool feature of this box is the small vanity mirror located just inside. This is our favorite for it’s combination of style and practicality. You can find this leather jewelry case for around $55 making it a great gift for the price.
  

These are only a few of the large variety of leather jewelry boxes but give you a general idea of what to look for. We’ve listed a few of our favorites and hope you find that box that’s perfect for your loved one.

Wooden jewelry boxes come in all shapes and sizes. From extremely elegant to simple and rustic. If you’re thinking of getting a wooden jewelry box, there’s a few things to take into consideration.

1. Is the jewelry box for a man or a women? Women generally like the more elegant wooden boxes (big shocker we know). Men in general, like the darker wood. We’re not sure why, maybe has something to do with hunting lodges… who knows.
2. How Large? This question comes into play no matter what type of jewelry box you’re looking at. Will it be a counter or dresser top box or free standing?
3. What is your price range/budget? Wooden jewelry boxes have been around since man started carving wood. As such, there are millions of different types, designs, and categories of wooden jewelry boxes. Whether you’re a collector or simply want one as a gift, the options are endless.
   

As with any jewelry box, choosing the right design and features depends on a few things. One being, how much jewelry does the person have? Do they have more necklaces or rings? The reason this matters is wooden jewelry boxes are created with different features that can cater more towards jewelry collection types. For example, if someone has dozens of necklaces but not many rings, you’ll want a jewelry box that has more necklace hangers then say someone that has more rings.

Let’s look at some options you’ll want a wooden jewelry box to have if purchasing one for a man.

Most men have a tendency to collect things in their pockets. Mostly coins, and look for someplace to dump them when they get home. Finding a jewelry box that has a bowl or some type of container on the top which can hold change is a big selling feature for a mans jewelry box. One way to tell what type of box to get for your man, observe where he puts his stuff when he gets home after work. Does he take of his watch and empty his pockets on top of his dresser? Then maybe he would like a shorter box with places to store his watch and change. Also, many jewelry boxes come with charging stations now for mobile devices. These are becoming quite popular mostly for men also. Maybe he dumps this stuff on the bathroom counter, if so, a taller box may work in that situation.

Wooden Jewelry box options for a women

Women can be a little more challenging when choosing a certain type of box. But one indication of the type of box to get is look at any furniture they have purchased and notice its style. Is it rustic or frilly? Does it have an antique feel or more modern? Just because a jewelry box is wood does not mean cannot be dainty and elegant. Many wooden jewelry boxes have ornate designs, pearls, ivory, or stained glass worked into their design. Again, you’ll want to pay attention to the amount of rings vs. necklaces she has which will help you purchase one that will work well for holding their jewelry.
