A jewelry box is a container for trinkets, including jewels. Large jewelry boxes are receptacles with many compartments within. These jewelry boxes come in various shapes, purposes, and prices. Jewelry boxes are also made for children as play items which are usually made of plastic, and may contain a small mirror. Large jewelry boxes for adults are made in different types and designs to cater almost every need.

Large jewelry boxes catering to men's requirements include valet boxes, watch boxes, and men's jewelry boxes. These large jewelry boxes for adults are made of various materials ranging from plastic to silver plated wooden boxes. Handcrafted wood like Dark Walnut, mahogany, and oak are also used, but are pricey. The wood is sanded and stained beautifully; then, it is protected with a shiny varnish coat. There are also leather covered large jewelry boxes for men.

Large jewelry cabinets which are stood up with carved legs, called armoires, give off the look of a piece of furniture than just a mere large jewelry box. Almost all the large jewelry boxes are lined with soft fabric or suede fabric to preserve the jewelry stored. A few jewelry boxes have a clear glass cover to reveal the contents within. However, the rest are solid covers with a mirror on the inside. The lift-lid of large jewelry boxes contain drop front with ring rolls. Horizontal compartments are open drawers with mini-compartments within. Apart from horizontal compartments of a jewelry box, there are vertical compartments which expand sideways, and come with hooks ideal for storing necklaces.

Another type of large jewelry boxes gaining popularity these days are tri-fold jewelry cases, and purse-style jewelry boxes. Tri-fold jewelry cases take the outward form of a suitcase. When opened it unfolds into three surfaces, where one acts as a partition between the other two when closed. This is to keep the contents from both sides in their respective compartments. The purse-style jewelry boxes are in the shape of a wooden hand-bag. They come with either a mechanical latch or a magnetic strap. On the inside, it contains a few of the usual compartments of large jewelry boxes, but it also contains a shirred catch pocket and a snap compartment with a built in mirror.

When taking a look at men's valet boxes, it can be noted that they contain additional features like coin slides, ring holders, and open storage for other items (watch pads); but, they do not contain mirrors and necklace hooks. An ingenious new innovation in valet boxes are the electronic charging valets. These handy additions provide with charging sections for electronic devices with discreet slots for chargers found on the rear. Large jewelry boxes cost around $30 and upward.
