Jewelry Boxes in Movies, Plays, and Books

November 10th, 2011

It’s of interest to many that jewelry boxes have been featured extensively in movies, plays, and books. They have been central to several Hollywood movies. In fact, many movies are intriguingly woven around a jewelry box.

‘The Black Swan’ is an Oscar-winning movie, which stars Natalie Portman in an award winning role. In the film, when she went to bed each night with her toys, she would dream of a ballet dancer in a musical box.

Released in the seventies was a South Korean film ‘When A Woman Breaks Her Jewelry Box’, about a woman who breaks her jewelry box to find the truth about her mother. When the box was broken, the lady realized that her mother was still alive and not dead as she had thought. It was recognized as the best film and even won an award at the Blue Dragon Film Award ceremony.

Another riveting movie involving jewelry boxes was ‘What Lies Beneath’ starring Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer. Michelle finds a jewelry box behind their home on the lake and it turns out to be a clue that helps her solve a murder mystery. She is constantly disturbed by a ghostly presence and the film is a must-watch for its brilliant climax. Thrillers like the ‘Pirates of the Carribean’ series have also used treasure chests and jewelry boxes a lot.

Dalton Moore, an administrator at the Swindon High School penned a play called ‘The Missing Bride’ in the eighties. The students were so convincing with their performances that they won an inter-school competition. The play was about a bride who went missing from her own wedding reception. Guests at the reception were worried about the missing bride.

They searched all over the house till they came across an old jewelry chest and struggled to open it. They found only the bride’s dress inside with no sign of her. Though her body was missing, her beautiful wedding gown was there. There was complete silence in the audience as they were intrigued. In the end it turned out that the home the groom and bride bought was actually haunted.

Greek mythology speaks of Pandora’s box, one that was given to a beautiful girl by the Gods, with explicit instructions that it should not be opened. But as a curious child she opened the box and released illness, disease and destruction into the world.

Fairy tales have their share of jewelry boxes too. ‘The Emperor’s Clothes’ is a story where the garments and riches of the king were stored in highly decorated treasure chests. In J K Rowling’s famous Harry Potter series, the first book talks of his wizardry and his inheritance from his parents. All his gold was kept in jewelry chests at the Gringotts Wizarding Bank. This movie was called ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’. Everyone, from adults to children love the idea of stories that revolve around hidden treasure and jewelry boxes.

Irrespective of whether it is a movie, a book, or a play, the whole family is bound to love it.

Creating Jewelry Boxes For Women the Simple Way

October 19th, 2011

Jewelry boxes for women are a special kind of gift that will be preserved lovingly for a life time. If these boxes are hand crafted they will be treasured all the more. Any of your boxes lying around to be recycled can be used to make a cardboard jewelry box. An empty dinner set box or a shoe box too can be used.

A decorative chain and some jewelry pliers are also what you will need. To start with, punch some holes into the lid of the box. Thread the decorative chain through the holes to form loops on the inside of the box lid. Take off the lid and measure the inside of the box.

Out of two pieces of cardboard, make a divider for the inside of the box. In this way you can create two or four compartments in the box as per your requirements. The outside of the box can be done up in several ways. Create pretty things in origami and stick this all over the box. A stained glass look can be got by cutting different colored glass paper into varying sizes and shapes and then sticking these all over the box.

In terms of construction, wooden boxes are sturdier. If you have worked with wood before, this would be a good material to choose. First, sand the wood to remove any imperfections. Hardwood of cherry or oak that is quarter inch thick would be ideal.

Next apply two coats of acrylic paint on the outer surfaces of the wood pieces. Ensure you allow them enough time to dry, in between coats. Then you can make applique work out of old newspaper pictures or wallpaper and stick these onto the surface of the box.

Bring all the cut pieces of wood together with woodworking glue. You can start by gluing the base together first. With that done, you can glue together the sides and the lid. The box can be finished off by gluing a mirror on the inside of the jewelry box lid.

A vintage style jewelry box is another type you can make. Use an empty circular cheese box for this. Get rid of all the stickers and then prime the surface of the lid and the sides with primer. Paint it all over with a metallic silver or gold paint and give it time to dry.

As it is drying, cut out circular pieces of velvet that will go inside the lid of the box, the inside bottom and the outer base as well. With glue, stick these in place. Use a vintage scene from a magazine to fit the outer surface of the lid and stick that in place. Use brown ribbon to cover the base rim of the box.

Alternate faux beads in silver and gold on a thread and glue them onto the rim of the box around the picture. Put in place a mirror on the inside of the box and you are done.

So don’t wait for much longer! Let the creativity flow.

October 8th, 2011

Women totally love chunky jewelry as it is quite fashionable. Special jewelry boxes for women had to be designed to hold these large pieces of jewelry. To make this type of jewelry various metals, plastic, wood, and other materials are used.

Carved ones inlaid with semi precious stones and precious stones are quite popular. The commonly used metals for making jewelry boxes are gold, bronze, copper, resin, rhodium, stainless steel and oxidized metal. Sometimes a mixture of five different metals are used to make it easier to mould the beautiful patterns on the jewelry.

Crystals and clear beads are also used to make these necklaces.

Huge rings with different colors and big circumference are all threaded on silk thread and made into four layers to form the necklace. They are also interested in wearing huge bracelets made of metal and stones and crystals inlaid in it. Buy a huge ring with your birth stone, or a fringe of colored stones which is the trend now.

Other accessories like brooches and hair combs to adorn the hair are available. It will hold hair well and has designs that are inlaid with pearls and stones beautifully. To store chunky jewelry, the box should be spacious and the best ones are made of wood and leather. To keep all your chains and necklaces the base of the box should be hollow and deep.

Keeping Designer Watches Safe in the Right Men’s Jewelry Box

September 18th, 2011

A wide collection of personal belongings can be stored in a men’s jewelry box. The most common items are a pen, a cell phone, loose change, and a pair of cuff links, finger rings, and a bracelet too. Most valets are multi-purpose in their construction while some are specifically built to hold particular items.

A good example is a watch box. Some of your wrist watches may be for everyday rough use. However, if you have the expensive hobby of collecting designer watches, then there is a wide range for you to choose from. Well known watch brands have at least one designer watch that people aspire to own.

For $734,000, the Breuget pocket watch can be all yours. More than 200 years old, this company is today part of the famous Swatch group. Made of 18 carat gold, this pocket watch has movement that is completely done by hand.

The Blancpain 1735 Grande Complication is truly a unique piece. It comprises of 740 hand made elements as well as parts, making it the most complex watch around. Priced at $800,000, its casing is made of platinum and the strap of original crocodile skin.

The only watch in the world to use bits of a 2000 year old moon meteorite is the Louis Moinet Magistralis. These little bits of the moon are used in the creation of a display which clearly shows the complication movement below and includes a minute repeater and a perpetual calender. Louis Moinet made a unique watch stand for this, which amplified the sound of the repeater mechanism. This watch carries a price tag of $860,000.

2000 hours of manual detailing and a cost price of $1 million dollars is what makes the Hublot Black Caviar watch so unique. The case is constructed from 18 carat gold and the belt has nearly 322 black gems grains in it. What this means is that the watch is made up of 25 carats of gold and is well worth the price tag.

For $1.1 million comes the Chopard Super Ice Cube which has a display with gemstones packed to look like ice blocks. Every one of these cubes weighs around 66 carats. The watches you own may not be as expensive, but you will want to store and display them the best you can.

The type of box you choose will depend on the kind of watches you own. Wooden boxes are good for steel and titanium watches. The woods of oak and maple are commonly used here.

Boxes with leather casings are best for watches with leather straps. Up to 5 watches can be stored in a regular box. If you have a bigger collection, look for boxes that come with removable compartments to help make more space where you need it. In this way you can make space for your collection of watches as you add them to your collection.

There are some collector’s watches that come with a winding mechanism. If these constitute a large part of your collection, you could look for boxes that help in winding these watches up. The best box for your watches is one with a glass lid. This makes it easy for you to select a watch for the day and it also doubles up as a display case.

This means that your wonderful collection of watches would be quite incomplete without an exquisitely designed men’s jewelry box.

It’s a known fact that all women love jewelry. It, therefore, comes as no surprise that many jewelry boxes for women are available to safely keep their precious possessions. Since they were little, girls have always loved to collect and keep their precious keepsakes in a special receptacle.

Young girls would often get cute necklaces, bracelets or a pair of earrings with unique designs as gifts. They would then keep them in colorful musical boxes that often had a ballerina or figurine twirling as you opened the lid. These jewelry boxes often had the image of a favorite cartoon character such as Ariel, the Little Mermaid or Cinderella.

Wooden Jewelry Boxes and Several Ways to Make It Look Beautiful

September 1st, 2011

Wooden jewelry boxes which are handcrafted are treasures in themselves. You could also enhance their beauty by embellishing it with other accessories. These beautifully embellished boxes are handed down from one generation to the next.

Here’s some useful information on how to decorate your jewelry box.

To make your decorative work easy there are several beautiful items available in the market. Buy accessories from a shop which sells embossed satin, ready made roses, gold and silver filigree braided ribbons, pearls, etc. Pearls need not necessarily be pure white but can be of different colors like off white or a shade of pink.

To stick them onto the box a special adhesive will be needed. First apply the adhesive all around the top of the box and on the sides and then assemble the pearls all around the box in five rows. After this you can stick a large handcrafted satin flower on a corner.

You could also paint some intricate patterns on your box. You could also buy a painting design book which also gives the color scheme. Buy a painting kit which has the pattern, the paints, and the color scheme. The kit will contain the right size of the paint brush as well as the container to mix the paints.

Sand the box first and then with a pencil, sketch the design on the box. There are various designs you can choose from like Arabic, Turkish, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, etc. You could also do your own designs.

If you would like your box to look like a Victorian box, then get some embossed Chammoy satin and add satin flowers and lace to it. Attach a few pearls with a white braid and precious stones. Get a puzzle made and fix it on the box, so you can also play with it.

Board games like ‘Snakes and Ladder’ and also the Abacus were attached to the treasure chests in ancient Egypt. You could also use ready made designs made in brass. To fix metal to wood you will need a special adhesive.

For the top of the box you could get a fairly large design and go with small brass trinkets for the sides. The box could also be covered with soft Chamois embossed leather designs. Firmly fix the cover with a little adhesive.

The chamois could be embossed with colorful flowers. To add some charm to the decoration you could attach a few pearls. Whether you use satin, lace or leather to decorate your box, your involvement is what matters.

When you use your own patterns and decorate your jewelry by yourself it will give you incredible pride and satisfaction.

Mens Jewelry Box: Great Storage for Your Cherished Watch Collection

August 29th, 2011

Men look at watches the way women look at jewelry. Men can spend ridiculous amounts on watches so it is only proper that these precious items have a special holder to keep them protected. If you have an extensive array, you will need a mens jewelry box that can hold all your watches.

More often called a watch box or watch case, this particular jewelry box is specifically made to showcase your watches and keep them safe. It can store anywhere from one to twenty or more watches easily depending on how big it is. The box often contains several slots with small pillows to hold each watch separately. This is great especially for watches with metal straps so you can wrap the strap around the pillow snugly and securely.

There are boxes designed to lay your watches flat instead of wrapping them around the pillow. This is great for leather watches. Some watch cases are made with drawers that can hold spare straps, spring bars, buckles, small tools and other extra parts.

Many of the watch cases come with a clear lid made of glass or acrylic to be able to showcase your watch collection. A clear cover will help you easily identify the watch you want to wear for that day. In addition, if you have a solar powered watch, enough light passes through that can charge your watch.

There are watch boxes that also have a watch winder. This is convenient because you do not have to manually wind your watch. They can, however, be quite expensive.

Some individuals convert old cigar boxes into watch boxes. Dividers and slots are added to keep each watch segregated. It may be cheap, but the box will be unique and unlike any other.

Different materials can be utilized when making watch boxes. They can be made out of wood, leather, aluminum and other metals. The most common are wooden and leather watch boxes. Some boxes are made with locks and latches while others aren’t. When it comes to watch boxes, the options are limitless and it can sometimes be overwhelming when you are looking to buy one.

If you want to select a perfect box to meet your needs, here are some of the things you should consider.

1. Dimensions. Each slot should be large enough to fit your biggest watch. Watches come in different sizes so if your biggest piece can fit the slot without touching the other watches, there will be no problems with the smaller ones.

2. Depth. Select a box with enough depth so that the lid does not hit the face of the watch when you close it. Allow for enough room between the watch and the top lid.

3. Pillows. These should be firm, oval pillows large enough to hold the watch securely. Some pillows have an outer sleeve that you can remove or attach to accommodate either a smaller or larger watch.

4. Lining. Soft material like fleece, velvet or microfiber are preferable for lining.

If you bear these considerations in mind when choosing a watch box, not only will you be able to store and keep your watch collection safe and secure, you can also enjoy them for many years to come.

Jewelry Boxes For Women That Are Interesting Movie Props

August 28th, 2011

Jewelry boxes for women and Hollywood films have had a connection for a long time. Jewelry boxes have often been used as a focal point in many Hollywood films.

How often have you seen a scene where someone lifts the lid, the music starts playing and the camera focuses on the tiny ballerina continuously spinning, giving you a feeling of foreboding and even fear?
More often than not, jewelry boxes in these films hold the clues to a little girl who’s been missing or they stir childhood memories of a grown woman. At times, it may be the only tie a little girl has to her dead mother. Whatever they stand for, jewelry boxes used in films are more than just a prop. They possess a mystery within them.

One unforgettable film, which had a musical box, is the ‘Black Swan’, where Natalie Portman got the Oscar nod for her role as Nina, the frail and deeply disturbed prima ballerina. Each night she would go to bed with all her stuffed animals as she gazed at the ballerina twirling to the tune of Swan Lake. It is scenes like these that tell you that you have one disconcerting movie in your hands.

Another scary movie that effectively featured a jewelry box was ‘What Lies Beneath’ starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford. When Claire, Pfeiffer’s character, finds a jewelry box at the lake behind their house, it leads her to the truth behind the death/murder of the person whose ghost constantly reappeared before her. It seems that most movies with jewelry boxes are suspense films or psychological thrillers.

But other genres have used these boxes as props as well. Johnny Depp’s ‘The Pirates of the Caribbean’ series of movies have used treasure chests and all sorts of jewelry boxes. Jewelry boxes are so attractive and interesting that some films are selling them as movie merchandise.

The very successful ‘Twilight’ series has been manufacturing Twilight Jewelry Boxes featuring Bella’s and Edward’s image on the outside of the box. On the inside, you can see the Cullen crest and hear “Bella’s Lullaby” playing.

Jewelry boxes often become heirlooms that are passed on from generation to generation. Fond memories as well as deep secrets are often attached to them. They are a symbol of something more than just the items inside, whether in real life or just in the movies.

If you keep pieces that have been given to you by important people in your life, a jewelry box can mean a celebration of love. Or it can be a reflection of your childhood. The box is a part of who you are. Just looking at it, a jewelry box may look like a storage container for all your prized possessions.

But just as in the movies, if you search further, you will find a deeper meaning behind the box which stands for the life choices you have made thus far.
