A jewelry box is a container usually adorned with decorative designs and containing miscellaneous attachments. These are typically used by women to store jewelry and other valuables. Some jewelry boxes are passed down from generation to generation and have a certain antiquity and sentimental value attached to them. Custom Jewelry boxes come in a variety of designs and types. These include wooden jewelry boxes, musical jewelry boxes, travel jewelry boxes, standing cabinet jewelry boxes and handcrafted ones as well. Each custom jewelry box offers different features that meet the buyers different needs. For example some jewelry boxes are more suited for storing rings and bracelets while others offer more storage room for necklaces and pendants. Custom jewelry boxes are especially designed to suit the owners own personal needs. Custom jewelry boxes can be bought from high-end designers or small-scale manufacturers. The prices vary according to the owners requirements and depend on the material used to make the jewelry boxes. Simple wooden jewelry boxes may cost even as little as five dollars while ornamental jewelry boxes with precious stones inlaid in them may cost over a thousand dollars.

When purchasing custom jewelry boxes it is important that they match the other decor in the room. For example a wooden jewelry box would look more appealing if it matched the other wooden furniture in the room. The interior of the custom jewelry box should reflect the owner's personal taste in jewelry. The buyer can decide on how many compartments the box should contain as well as how they should be organized. Custom jewelry boxes can also be designed to include small face mirrors, drawers and even security measures such as a combination lock to protect the expensive items they contain.

If you have some experience with handicrafts and woodwork you can even make your own custom jewelry boxes. The primary advantage of this is the pleasure you get from indulging in your hobby. This option also offers more flexibility as you can introduce your own design and concept to the item. The job will require you to purchase the necessary materials and the cost will depend on how lavishly you wish to decorate and design your jewelry box. You can purchase jewelry box kits from a craft store and follow the instructions on it to make your own box.

On the other hand custom jewelry boxes make ideal gifts and you can add your own personal touch to it if you make it yourself and you will be appreciated all the more for it.
