Regardless of age, your first jewelry box will always be remembered. It need not be expensive or big, as long as it has certain requirements. Only you can decide what those requirements are.
Should it be Musical Jewelry Box? Remember you may want the magic to continue with a lift of the lid and the music begins to play while the ballerina twirls in harmony. Enchanting and playful with a charming style and fanciful designs will delight your young princess or lovely young lady. Let her imagination run wild as she twirls with the ballerina to the melody within her box. You will find these days that the ballerina may be #1 but, twirling cats, horses, fairies and more are becoming popular.
Jewelry Box Designs? There are wonderful boxes to be found with scenes of fables, nursery rhymes and even horse jewelry boxes. Can you imagine...? Vibrant colors of flowers and butterflies with pink detailed drawer pulls or a whirly graceful horse within a musical jewelry box or even floral fantasies with the music of "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" from Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite" with flowing ribbons, roses and ballet slippers in a delightful design? Go explore. The right box is at your fingertips!
Pricing? There's a huge range in pricing these days but, a good price to start with when shopping is about $30. This will be the lower end of the price scale though you could certainly find those up to $75 or more.
What is your Goal? Be reasonable. Know what you want. Do you want the child to play with it daily? Is it her first jewelry box? Should it be a box for years or just for her early childhood? Is she at the tween age(8-12) or younger? What does the child like? Do you want the box to be extravagant in price or extravagant in design? These are important questions to think about.
What's the Right Children's Jewelry Box? *If she is to play with it and it is for her younger years, then look for a box that is paper covered board, safe to play with and will not break if dropped. Choose a jewelry box that the child can relate to, has a little plastic mirror and is musical. *For a box with longevity through childhood, avoid the ballet slippers and cutesy designs. Keep it simple with a pretty pink lining and some music. If you keep it white, she can decorate it later herself with stencils or stamps! *You may prefer a wooden children's jewelry box. These are perfect if they are to kept out of little hands. The are the dresser top jewelry boxes that are kept for many years and are to store jewelry more than to handle. These should not be given to children under the age of 5 to handle alone. Please use adult supervision. Wooden jewelry boxes are heavy and can be hard to handle for little hands. If they do fall or are dropped, they will most likely break and may hurt a child.
Lining & Color? Most children's boxes come with a faux suede or paper lining that often is pink. We all can relate to that. Lining of either will protect her jewelry and treasures equally. Pink is the color of choice inside and out but,there is blue, white, purple and even green out there.
Still Debating what Jewelry Box is right for your Child? Ask questions before you buy. The jewelry boxes of the past most of us had a kids has been updated and improved to last a lifetime without costing a fortune. The paper covered wood boxes we had as children are now "new and improved" with wonderful songs, drawers from every side and music beyond the norm. You'll find nursery rhymes, ballet, horse themed songs and more. These boxes are durable and are made to last. I know first hand, my 3 yr. old daughter has had hers for 2 years and it's going strong! These are a great choice for quality and price. Still....wooden boxes come in wonderful styles, have a bit more refined feel to them and on a dresser, will last well beyond childhood.
