The Different Uses for a Small Jewelry Box for Men
You hear someone say ‘small jewelry box’ and your mind brings up images of women in front of their mirror, carefully selecting their jewelry! Block that image out for a moment and imagine instead a ruggedly handsome carved wooden box on your dresser where you can safely stash away your favorite items. Consider the amount of time you will save in looking for stuff every day! Is your wife constantly after you to check if you got your wallet, keys, spectacles, mobile, etc? You then need an 'accessory box' or a 'valet box' as they are referred to by men instead of the feminine 'jewelry boxes'. You just need a small compact box to plonk down your things in as soon as you reach home.
There are many exquisite boxes readily available with some very intricate and 'masculine' wood inlay like marquetry on them . These boxes are mostly made of two types of wood and the marquetry is done with some exotic and rare veneers and burlwood. The wood types that are most appealing to men are those with really dark colors like mahogany and dark cherry.
If you have just your regular stuff to store, you can go in for a small velvet or satin lined box that you can keep on your dresser. Some boxes are open on the top with receptacles for wallet, keys, loose change, and mobile. It may have a small drawer with small compartments to safely keep your watch, ring, tiepins, and cufflinks.
These boxes are great for travel as they are compact and easy to carry. It ensures that your stuff stays organized with little chance of getting misplaced. If you plan to store any expensive accessories in it, it may be a good idea to go in for a box with a lock. There are several intricately carved boxes that are fitted with brass clasps and hinges that give an overall classy and sophisticated look.
If you would like something more flamboyant and showy, you could go in for boxes that have unique shapes like a treasure chest, or an old tome, or a chest of drawers. It enhances your room's decor and accentuates your desk or dresser. An intricately carved chest is very impressive to look at and becomes a conversation piece at most parties.
There are boxes specifically made to hold watches with a transparent lid to also act as a display case. And you can also find boxes to hold your coin or ring collection, with special receptacles for keys and specs, etc. You will easily find a perfect box for your favorite accessory.
