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.
You can make jewelry boxes from a wide range of woods. 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 get wood from other countries and preferred choices are rosewood, ebony, bocote, and jatobe. You could also think of lacewood, olivewood and padauk. Good quality boxes have their exteriors made of wood and the interiors lined with velvet or satin.
A jewelry chest is a favored style. 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.
A couple of the drawers can have cup holders for earrings and finger rings and side doors can have hooks for chains. Chests adorn dressers really well and their facades can be further decorated to make them look even better.
Marquetry is one such decorative option where an image is filled in with several small pieces of veneer in varying shades and textures. Several beautiful designs can be filled in this way. The beauty of these boxes can be enhanced by hand carvings as well. Since each hand made design has its own finish, you are sure of having a unique box.
Inlay, gem stone decoration and the like are other means of beautifying your box. Heirloom wooden boxes can be upright with removable trays. Each of these trays will have a lining of suede, velvet, or satin and can be styled uniquely for every type of accessory.
Small drawers that open out at different levels is another option that you can look into. In this version too, you can have separate compartments for earrings, finger rings, watches, chains, bracelets, and other precious jewelry. The heirloom effect is got from the finishes that these boxes come in.
Opt for wooden handles on drawers instead of metallic ones. Selecting these in woods of contrasting shades enhances their beauty. The hooks for chains and bracelets too can be made of wood. Rolls for watches and cups for rings can be made of it too. Give wood a very natural look by skipping the application of varnish.
Wooden jewelry boxes are passed through generations as an heirloom. So, by creating a jewelry box that has the potential of becoming an heirloom, you will gain a lot of appreciation.
