From playful styles meant for little girls to exceptional handcrafted jewelry cases, cupboards and chests, jewelry boxes come in all shapes, sizes, functions and price ranges. Different styles of jewelry boxes are used for different types of jewelry, from costume pieces to fine jewels.

Many little girls love trademark character jewelry boxes and those that come complete with wind up music boxes. This style is usually made from heavy cardboard or pressboard and jewelry boxes made for children usually contain a small mirror so that little princesses can check their look after putting on their jewelry. These jewelry boxes are inexpensive and make a great gift for little girls. There are also small dresser style jewelry boxes for children that look like tiny chests of drawers. They are often painted in bright colors and the little drawers are usually lined with soft fabric to protect the jewelry they hold.

For adults, there are many different types and styles of jewelry boxes to fit every need, and they are not just for women. There are watch boxes, valet boxes and other styles specifically for men. From standing jewelry cabinets that make a great accessory for your room to lined, locked cases to transport precious jewels, there is a jewelry box for every person and every need.

Aside from standard styles, there are also beautiful handcrafted wooden jewelry boxes made from natural woods such as teak, oak and mahogany. Sanded to perfection, beautifully stained and protected with a shiny clear coat, these exquisite jewelry boxes make lovely home accents. Larger jewelry cabinets, especially taller models with carved legs, can feel more like a piece of furniture than a simple jewelry storage box.

Jewelry boxes can also be covered in leather, a style perfect for men or for use as a keepsake box. There are also small, simple, inexpensive options such as ring boxes, and even cardboard boxes with compartments that make it easy to sort your jewelry. These fit nicely into lingerie drawers or overnight bags.

Jewelry boxes make great gifts for special occasions such as anniversaries, Valentine's Day, or even just because.
