About Jewelry Boxes

A musical snow globe of course. There are probably no two things that can hold someone’s attention better than a snow globe or a music box. So why not combine the two and make it even better. I found this musical fairy snow globe that plays “Everything is Beautiful” and she is, isn’t she? This kneeling fairy is holding a butterfly in her hands and is situated on top of a beautiful flower garden complete with bird houses. She is sure to enchant young and old alike.

Have a friend of a family member who loves to sail? Or maybe a retired Navy man? Why not give them a shadow box with nautical knots and pictures of sail boats made just for them. They can use a nautical shadow box to dress up their office or den. It can remind them of great times on their boat or memories of serving their country. Shadow boxes frames can be covered with glass to better protect what you have placed inside.

I have always loved a music box and I know that I am not alone in my love for them. Thousands of music boxes are sold each year and they vary so much in style and size. That’s why anyone who collects music boxes is always out looking for the next best find. There are lots of run of the mill music boxes, but it is the unique and unusual ones that more than capture the hearts of an avid music box collector. This Roman Musical Figure Girl is one of those that captures the heart. Done in all white except for the gold cross and chain, this porcelain girl is kneeling on an open bible. She measures 7 1/2 inches tall. This is just an exquisite music box to add to anyone’s music box collection. She would also make a great give for someone’s first communion.

They make keepsake boxes for men too. This maybe a practical keepsake box, but it is long on style too. What a great way to help de-clutter his office desk, then with this great golf clun and ball desk keepsake box. Let him keep his tees, his cufflinks, his change or His treasures in this golf-themed treasure box made of Alabastrite and painted with a wood finish. This keepsake box measures 4 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches by 4 1/2 inches high.

Jim Shore collectibles are one of my favorite collectible groups. He has a style that is all his own. One that at least to me is whimsical. I especially love his collection of cats. Cat Orange Figurine Jim Shore “Heartwood Creek”. This stone resin made cat figurine is designed by Jim Shore. Part of his “Heartwood Creek” collection, it measures 7″ high.

Jewelry, like any other accessory, can lose its shine and luster after some time. It is important to know how to care for them properly. Here are some tips in caring for your jewelry:

~It helps if you keep your jewelry pieces in a jewelry box. A jewelry box will keep them in one place, and avoid getting your jewelry misplaced. Choose a box that is lined with cloth to avoid any scratches on the jewelry.
~Pearls and opals need a little moisture. Make sure that your box has a small amount of moisture as this keeps the pearls shiny. However, pearls keep their shine best when they are worn more often as they acquire the body’s natural oils.
~Necklaces must be stored separately from each other. A jewelry box with small divisions would be great for necklaces to avoid the chains from getting tangled together.

By keeping these tips in mind, you are guaranteed that your jewelry pieces will last a lifetime, perhaps even longer.

A box has different uses. It can be used to store memorabilia such as pictures. It can also keep your jewelry collection in place. It is a great way of presenting a gift. Perhaps the most unique kind of box is the shadow box. This box is not something opened or placed on top of a table. It is actually a box that can be hung on a wall.

Let’s take the United States Navy shadow box, for instance. This box may contain Navy memorabilia such as medals reaped while serving the country. It can be a great gift for someone who has just retired. Unlike the usual boxes that are covered, this is one box that can display anything such as memorabilia and keepsakes.
