How Would You Describe a Jewelry Box?

This question might seem idiotic to some, but to many, a jewelry box is a symbolic and practical item with an emotional appeal that is almost mythical.

Although this is the most common and mass produced style of ring holder, the jewelry box industry is filled with alternate designs, sizes and materials used to make the containers of the most beloved items we own.

There are jewelry boxes for single, personal ring and necklace storage or display. There are commercial jewelry showcases and transport jewelry boxes with advanced protective security features, and everything in between. There are even several collections that contain jewelry box selections that are designed and themed especially for children and teens. Far more than a simple trinket holder, a jewelry box can even be a vehicle for personal expression or a display box for children as in the classic musical jewelry box with a dancing ballerina inside.
