Christmas is right around the corner and that means it’s time to start concentrating on gifts for loved ones. Most of us have spouses to buy for as well as kids. My anniversary was not too long ago, and I bought the perfect gift for my wife. I wanted to share this fabulous jewelry armoire with you because someone you know might appreciate this gift as much as my lovely wife.

Have you ever heard of a jewelry armoire? I chose to buy the Collage Photo Frame Wooden Wall Locking Jewelry Armoire so my wife would have plenty of room to put pictures. Basically, this specific armoire is designed as a wall mounted jewelry armoire. The design is practical and simply beautiful. There are at least 17 different sized photo slots, so there is plenty of room for all of your pictures. It also features a lock on the bottom, which helps keep safety a priority. You can order it in your choice of wood finish.

This specific jewelry armoire looks like a simple photo collage frame but the front opens up to reveal plenty of hooks, earring holes, and ring cushions for all your jewelry. Necklaces can get tricky because they constantly get tangled up; however, this armoire helps us organize our jewelry while still decorating our home.

If you’re in the market for a jewelry armoire, there are plenty on the market to choose from. Most of these armoires mount perfectly on the wall with ease. This is perfect for the husband or wife who may have trouble hanging a decorative item on the wall. A wall mounted jewelry armoire is most ideal for organizing and decorating at the same time. When you open the armoire you get plenty of space to store all of your jewelry.

You will also find that a photo frame jewelry armoire comes in a variety of wood materials. Cherry is a bestselling photo armoire because it complements the style of so many homes. I personally preferred the simpler version of the jewelry armoire. Our home is decorated quite nicely but I did not want to overdo it with a large jewelry armoire. Believe it or not but a lot of people are looking for decorative pieces that does double duty as storage.

Overall, I am highly satisfied with this armoire or jewelry box as an anniversary present. I’m quite confident you will enjoy having one of these in your home as well. Where else will you store all of those quality photos and great pieces of jewelry from the holidays and travel?

Notes on Mounting this Armoire to the Wall

The instructions for the mounting process were pretty straight forward. It comes with the little anchors you put into the sheet rock. I measured and used a stud finder but had to use the anchors in the sheet rock. Needless to say I was a little apprehensive that the anchors would be enough to hold the weight of this wall mounted jewelry box; especially when considering opening and closing it.

What I ended up doing was (after using the provided anchors) was using a laser level and a stud finder to locate a stud that ran close to center of the armoire. Then I just used a couple 1.5 inch galvanized sheet rock screws and drove the right through the back of the armoire into the stud. This made it really secure and you can really open it up and not worry about it coming off the wall. Watch the video to see what I’m talking about.

Although we haven’t inserted any of our photos into this yet, we figured its best to get all our photos together that we want to use and do them all at once.

So my wife loves these new jewelry armoire and we’re eager to start filling it up with more jewelry from all out travels.

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.
