Gorgeous Jewelry Boxes Women Will Desire
Beauty is a key factor when it comes to jewelry boxes women choose. There are several kinds of finishes that work at making a jewelry box completely original and unique. These finishes are dictated entirely by the kind of material used to make the boxes.
Jewelry boxes made of wood, especially mahogany, cherry, maple, walnut, rosewood and others are quite popular. The most common design for these boxes is the flip top, the outer portion of which can contain some great finishes. Decorative and slim strips of wood called veneers are placed on top of jewelry boxes.
This ancient art form gives out a grain-like texture that is achieved by slicing through age rings of a tree at just the right angle. A beautiful veneer jewelry box is one that looks like a single unit rather than a sheet of wood placed over another. Going one step ahead is marquetry in which small pieces of veneer are placed into a pre-designed structure or pattern.
A variety of woods can be used to achieve the illusion of color and texture. Wave marquetry is an abstract form of the art where designs are seamless and free flowing. Wooden jewelry boxes especially those of rosewood, ebony and mahogany can also be carved on.
Carving out designs with a chisel will give you an exquisite piece of art that speaks for itself when gifted. There are a variety of geometric, leafy and figure-based motifs that can be machine carved as well, allowing for smoother and more accurate detailing. Such boxes can be further highlighted with gold and silver inlay work.
Clasps and hinges painted in such complementary shades can be mounted for better effect. The price involved may be higher, but they are well worth it in the end. You could also choose from a range of hinges and side supports in gold, silver and other metals to further enhance the finish of your jewelry box.
Jewelry boxes in the Pietra Dura (also known as parchin kari in Asia) style are those that come with minute colored stones placed together to form a design. The stones are cut, polished and fitted seamlessly into a variety of designs making it impossible to discern one from the other. An Indian interpretation of this would be the Taj Mahal which has similar work on the entry way walls.
Stone jewelry boxes come with some unique finishes thanks to the multiple colors they can be sourced in. A melange of shades such as red, yellow, beige and pink can be molded into beautiful designs on soap stone based jewelry boxes. Marble inlay work with compositions in lapis lazuli, jasper and turquoise make for some mesmerizing finishes and the more the number of cuts, the more intricate the work.
A jewelry box is very personal to a woman and needs to be something that she will cherish. These finishes provide that touch of class to these treasure boxes. There honestly can't be much more a woman can ask for.
