Heirloom Wooden jewelry Boxes For Women
You can really show that you care by designing a gift on your own. Old world styled wooden jewelry boxes for women will really touch the heart. The durability and beauty of wood is unmatched, making it perfect heirloom material.
There are several kinds of woods from which jewelry boxes can be made. Every one of them has different strengths as well as unique textures and finishes. Choices are often made in cherry, maple or mahogany.
There are also options in white ash, walnut, birch and burl. One can also opt for foreign woods such as rosewood, ebony, bocote, and jatobe. There are options in lacewood, olivewood and padauk as well. The exteriors of every good quality box are made of wood while the interiors will be lined with velvet or satin.
A favored style is that of the jewelry chest. These come with drawers, side doors that open out and flip top lid with an attached mirror. For the flip top lid you could include an etched mirror or small ballerina with some soothing music. These options give the box a look of elegance when it is opened.
Some of the drawers can have cup holders for earrings or finger rings and the side doors can incorporate hooks for chains. Chests adorn dressers really well and their facades can be further decorated to make them look even better.
Marquetry is an option where the box can have a design that is filled in with several small pieces of veneers in different shapes, textures, and colors. Several beautiful designs can be filled in this way. Other decorative options include carvings by hand that enhance beauty. Since each hand made design has its own finish, you are sure of having a unique box.
You could also consider inlay, gem stone decoration and the like. Heirloom wooden boxes can be upright with removable trays. The trays can be lined with a choice of velvet, satin, or suede and can be designed to hold a variety of accessories.
Another design you can look into is one that comes with small pull out drawers that open at different levels. These too can have individual compartments allotting you space for earrings, finger rings, watches, chains, bracelets, and other important items. It's the finish that gives these boxes their heirloom-like touch.
Opt for wooden handles on drawers instead of metallic ones. Opt to have these in contrasting shades to work wonders on the look of the box. The hooks for chains and bracelets too can be made of wood. There are even boxes that have their rolls for watches, and cups for rings fashioned out of the same material. Give wood a very natural look by skipping the application of varnish.
Wooden jewelry boxes are passed through generations as an heirloom. That is why making a box that carries the potential of becoming an heirloom will get you a lot of appreciation.
