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.
