There's nothing plain or ordinary here--these unique jewelry boxes are perfect for people who prefer to break away from everyday storage solutions in favor of a more individual, stylized look. The good news is that unique doesn't always equal expensive. Great gift ideas for yourself or a special friend. 1) Victorian Garden Cedar Jewelry Chest This six-drawer, hand-crafted jewelry chest is covered with a painting that depicts a Peruvian building with an arched entry and tile roof. Bouquets of flowers enhance the front of the building. 2) Burlwood Oak Jewelry Box This lovely burlwood jewelry box has simple lines when closed, but changes dramatically as you open its four swing out drawers. It's enhanced by a large lower drawer and a lift lid with mirror. Hardware is antiqued and the draws are lined with sueded fabric. The jewelry box measures 10-1/8" x 6-1/4" x 8-1/4". 3) Morpier Firenze Art Nouveau Wood and Silver Jewelry Box What a beautiful jewelry box! It is made of wood and has sterling silver trim on its top that depicts an engraved flower motif in the Art Nouveau style. The box is lined with velvet, and includes a row where you can insert rings or studs. 4) Persian Kitty - Oil on Leather Jewelry Box Feline friends will love this leather jewelry box with an oil painted top that features a fluffy kitten poking up out of a pot set in a grassy garden. 5) Metronome Wood Jewelry Box The perfect jewelry box for music lovers, it resembles a metronome, but behind its doors you'll find five little drawers to hold your jewelry. This link takes you to the light, natural wood version. It's also available stained a darker walnut shade. 6) Acrylic Jewelry Box You won't have to open drawers to seek out a special piece of jewelry, because this inexpensive acrylic jewelry box has see-through drawers and sides that make everything visible. 7) Teak Wood Jewelry Box with Swivel Top A segment of teakwood is carved out to produce a storage area, and further handcrafted to form a swivel top from its upper section. Very natural and free flowing. 8) Round Jewelry Box This little tan leather jewelry box would fit right in with just about any decor, but it reminds me of something that would look perfect in a 1940's to 1950's setting. It has a metal locking closure, a mirror in its lid, 12 ring slots, and a pull out bottom drawer. 9) Moon Shaped Wood Jewelry Box A graceful jewelry box with a flat back and gently curved front. It features a locking key closure with a tasseled key and its interior is velvet lined, with space for rings and smaller items in a lift-out top tray. A space underneath holds larger items such as necklaces, bracelets and chains. 10) Heart Shaped Wood Jewelry Box This heart shaped jewelry box if finished in a walnut tone, with a peach velveteen interior. The top of the heart flips up to reveal a mirror. Under it, two drawers swing outwards, and underneath them is a larger compartment. Compact and feminine, this heart is a perfect gift box.
