Best Gifts For Women: Beautiful Handmade Jewelry Box with Unusual Marquetry
Surprising the most important woman in your life with something special for your anniversary is always a big deal. However, finding gifts for women especially if they have very discerning tastes can pose a challenge. If you’ve always given her jewelry for important occasions, then maybe it’s time you gave her a special container for all her precious trinkets.
There are a wide array of choices when it comes to Jewelry Boxes. They can be made of different materials such as leather, fabric, glass or plastic. But if you're looking for a fancier and truly exceptional box, a skillfully carved wooden box is a great choice.
There is just something about wood that is unlike other materials. The creativity and expertise it takes to make a wooden jewelry box makes it very special. Not only will it hold and protect valuable possessions, the box is also a work of art in itself.
If you are looking for a wooden box that will leave a mark, one that has in-laid marquetry will definitely impress. Marquetarians create wonderful, intricate designs that showcase the beauty of the box even more. Marquetarians meticulously put thin pieces of wood or veneers together to create a wonderfully eye-catching design.
These artisans often work with exotic burl woods such as thuya, walnut, oak, redwood, maple and many more. Burl wood is very attractive because of its interesting grain patterns that can be wavy, curly or may resemble 'eyes' or small black dots. It is fascinating to note that burls are actually abnormalities on trees.
Burls are defective growths found on a few trees that are a result of a fungal attack or insect infestation. But due to their unusual ring patterns and shapes, they have become highly sought after by many artisans. Since they are very rare, they can be quite difficult to acquire.
For example, the thuya burl is a revered wood that comes from Morocco.
They even consider it a national treasure. Woodworkers have been using it for centuries and in fact it is even been mentioned in the Bible as the 'Thyine' wood. Because of this, it is a favorite for carving religious items.
Artisans love to work with the thuya burl because it is easy to carve and polish. Its striking 'bird's eyes' design is perfect for making boxes, furniture, trinkets, statues, plates and other types of wood work. However, due to overharvesting, the Moroccan government has banned the export of this wood.
In less skilled hands, working with burl wood can be a challenge because it is more fragile and delicate than other types of wood. It is harder to saw, cut or chisel without splitting because of its irregular pattern. Therefore, it takes a lot of skill and competence to be able to handle this kind of material.
Different types of marquetry designs made of natural burl wood can enhance a jewelry box. As much as a woman’s jewelry is a reflection of her style and personality, so should the box that she stores it in. An exquisite wooden Jewelry Organizer stays classic and timeless – just as your love is for her.
