If you are trying to find best gifts for her, why not think out of the box and consider something unusual like a handcrafted large wooden jewelry box These boxes have been cherished by women since they first started wearing jewelry and merge good looks with functionality in the most attractive combination. Because every box is carefully hand made, it is a unique expression of the creativity of the craftsman

These boxes are made using unusual combinations of woods, grains, and colors and will last for many generations. The box would be cherished as a family heirloom and passed on from generation to generation You can opt for a completely custom made wooden jewelry box but this will work out to be expensive.

Instead you should look on the Internet where you can find a wide range of boxes on many websites. How do you recognize a box of the best quality? It starts with the design and how the decorative elements blend with the functional elements.

In appearance, the box should convey a feeling of sophistication and elegance with lines that draw the attention of any friend or relative. The best features of the wood and the decorative elements should be brought out in the craftsmanship. The same attention to detail should be apparent in the functionality of the box.

The design should make the most economical use of space and you should expect to see features such as removable trays and flexible dividers Because every woman’s jewelry collection is unique, the storage options should be as versatile as possible. The velvet that lines the storage space should be of the highest quality so that the jewelry is completely protected.

Many different kinds of wood can be used in the making of a handcrafted wooden jewelry box. As an example, there is a rare and costly wood which is known as kauki and kauki boxes are often regarded as art objects and treasured as heirlooms. You should also ensure that the wood has the right moisture content so that it is long-lasting while retaining its color and finish.

Many manufacturers, especially mass manufacturers, without the same commitment to quality use pigment or dyes to cover blemishes or flaws in the wood. You can choose the kind of embellishment and carving that you would like on the box and you can even choose to have a name or initial carved.

Marquetry is a traditional method of decorating a box by using eye-catching patterns formed from different species of wood cut into unusual shapes The exotic appearance is caused by the contrasting grains of wood and the different colors
