The Jewelry Box - Both Beautiful and Practical

Most people pick out a jewelry box based on how beautiful it looks. And yes, there are some absolutely exquisite jewelry boxes out there to choose from. But take just a minute to think about the practical side of owning one of these beautiful pieces. And keep in mind that this goes for both men and women.

When you come home from work or a night out, most of the time you are exhausted. The first thing you do is go into the bedroom and change clothes and take off all your jewelry. How often does that jewelry just end up laying on top of the dresser. It's not too long before the top of the dresser is an absolute mess and you couldn't find a specific piece of jewelry if your life depended on it. A jewelry box would take care of this problem, provided you use it properly.

Jewelry boxes are great organizers. Get yourself a large one, perhaps with glass door that open. Typically these will have hooks on a rotating disc, a perfect place to hand your necklaces so that you'll not only be able to find them, but you won't have to spend 15 minutes untangling it from all the rings and other pieces of jewelry that it will likely get entwined with. Then there will be drawers. For organizational purposes you can put your earrings in one, rings in another, and bracelets in the third. Can't you just picture how easy it would be to find things now?

If you have too much jewelry to place in one box, why not get two. Like we said, a jewelry box can be very beautiful and will only serve to enhance the look of your room. Just make sure you separate things so they are easy to find. Perhaps have one jewelry box for you costume jewelry, the other for the better pieces.

For you men, consider getting a smaller one to place your watch, or watches in. Separate drawers could be used to place rings if you wear them. And here's a great idea. How about using one of the drawers to place your change in instead of just leaving it on the counter or dresser? Your bedroom is looking better just thinking about it. No more clutter on the dressers.

Of course just thinking about it won't do you a bit of good. You have to actually use the jewelry box for it to be worthwhile. And even the prettiest box won't look very good surrounded by clutter. It's not going to take you more than an extra 30 seconds to put things where they belong. Don't place them on the dresser and say you'll come back and put them away later. You won't. I can tell you that from experience.

So now that you've made the great decision to get one (or two), why not take a second to see if you can find the perfect jewelry box in our store section. We think you'll find exactly the one you are looking for that will look good on your dresser and take care of your clutter problem as well.
