large jewelry boxes

Jewelry boxes are available in all sizes and range from small travel cases and dresser top boxes to large floor-standing jewelry armoires. If you are about to purchase a jewelry box you might want to look into the large sizes, as your jewelry collection is sure to grow with each year. A large jewelry box is one that is usually more than 14 inches wide or high.

Many of the large boxes are dresser top armoires. A typical example is the Diva model made by Reed and Barton. It has five drawers with compartments for earrings, rings, bracelets and pendants as well as two side compartments that are ideal for storing necklaces. With a dark mahogany finish it will also make a contribution to your bedroom's decor.

Another box in the same category is a 15 inch high, six drawer box by Seya. It has four drawers with storage dividers and a top section that locks to protect your valuables.

In addition, the top section has seven ring rolls. With two swing-out necklace doors with four hooks on each side and a full mirror in the lid, this is a large, multi-purpose box that can handle the needs for storing a large and varied collection.

The next category of large jewelry boxes are the huge, oversized dresser top chest styles. A good example is the Empress walnut jewelry chest by Mele. It measures in with a length of 18 1/2 and width of 9 1/2 and is 11 inches high. It has a warm walnut finish and features seven divided sections on top. It also has a built in mirror.

A special feature is a hidden necklace drop with 12 hooks. There are six drawers, one double drawer in the middle, one ring drawer, one with four equal sections and two open drawers. The bottom drawer has eight equal sections, and the whole chest is lined with a cocoa suede-like fabric which prevents scratching and damage to your jewelry.

Another category of the large jewelry boxes are leather train cases and jewelry trunks. A good example of a jewelry trunk is the huge leather jewelry trunk by Morelle. Measuring an impressive 21 inches in length, 11 1/2 inches wide and 10 inches high it is crafted of genuine leather with a black croc finish.

Fully lined to cushion and protect, it has 16 separate drawers and tons of storage for all kinds of jewelry plus it has LED lights above the mirror that light up when the lid is opened. A secure lock and key keep an entire collection of jewelry secure. Also included is a travel case for additional storage and traveling with jewelry.

Finally, you can also look at a floor standing armoire. As the name suggests these are not placed on the dresser top but are independent pieces of furniture. A good example is the traditional oak-finished jewelry armoire offered by Mele. Measuring-in with a length of 13 inches and a width of 10 inches and a height of 24 inches, this is an elegant piece of oak furniture that features a lid with interior mirror, a top compartment with central roll section flanked by six open sections, four open drawers and dual necklace doors that house six hooks each, plus catch panels.

In case you have a large and growing jewelry collection but do not have enough space to accommodate a large jewelry chest, there are ways to handle this problem. Consider getting a medium size dresser top jewelry chest and supplement this storage with hanging jewelry organizers or lined jewelry storage boxes.
