Jewellery Storage....

[canuk-gal]

HI:

I'd say I need a jewellery "box", but then I'd be dating myself....

I would like a storage case for jewellery--especially for earrings. At present they seem to be piled in a big lump--mind you they are on a velvet lump--but I want them to hang properly/vertically. If they could talk, I am sure my golden pearls would not appreciate such close quarters with those sparkly bobs.

Any suggestions? I'd love a gorgeous storage unit--something as pretty as the stuff inside. Anyone know of a vendor who makes such items??

cheers--Sharon

BGD has just introduced a very nice roll, but I'm not sure if you will need something bigger?

HI:

Thanks HOT. I have earrings galore, and would trade other storage compartments just to have a place for earrings. I have no idea what I want even esists!

It's a good thing that I have too much jewellery for even the largest box here, otherwise I would be buying at Smythson:

(prices not for the fainthearted but man I want a purple box!)

Birks does some nice ones. Expensive though.

I have a jewellry box from Bombay that is very nice, and was much cheaper.

well my heart must be faint because I just about fell off my chair! Beautiful boxes though.

That is a lovely jewelry box, but the price! That could be much better spent on a piece of jewelry and stored in a less expensive case.


I have a leather one from Wolf Designs https://www.wolfdesigns.com/jewelry-boxes/womens?page=1&show_mode=show_all. It looks classy and does the job for a more reasonable price.

I have this one from QVC! It's big but a ton of storage and I use the mirror all the time too! http://www.qvc.com/Gold-&-Silver-Sa...-p.qvc.com/is/image/h/82/h86082.001?$uslarge$

Ooooh... I love that, AND coincidentally have been looking for a freestanding mirror. Awesome awesome awesome. I may just order one tonight.

niceee! Does it look discreet? In the sense that if you don't know it's a jewelry "box," you may not realize that it is?

Yes, it just looks like a standing mirror! It's a nice size, not too big!

Hi Canuk-gal,

Did you ever end up finding a jewelry box? I'm on a similar search. I have a beautiful small one from Birks but it's too tiny and my pieces are at risk of being damaged.

 

[NewShiny]

This isn't particuarly pretty, but it's wall-mountable and large enough to hold EVERYTHING. I have been trying to get organized this year, and was tired of not being able to see the jewerly that I have, both costume and the good stuff. It fits great in my closet and is wall mounted. I've only had it a couple of weeks but so far I'm in love.

I love the beauty of a jewelry box but not the security issue. When I was younger I had lovely jewelry boxes for my not so expensive jewels but now I keep everything in our home safe. There's too much risk (for me) in not keeping it locked up. This way it is easy to get whatever I want to wear and easy to put away and it's all very organized (for me at least).

 

[baby nurse]

Wow, great idea, Missy!

HI BN:

No I did not. But I was very tempted when Smythson had their sale.... Bombay had nothing of interest--and their stuff is rather cheaply made.....

I was thinking that Mother's Day might be a good time to look--promo's and sales and all that....doesn't BIrks have there annual sale around now??

Have you looked around at all? Let me know what you find. What do you seek in a jewellery box/storage unit?

I really would like something to hang my heavier chains on....perhaps I should contact 50 Cent and see what he recommends?

LIke MIssy I utilize our safe. But mine isn't as organized!! Good on ya Missy!!!

cheers--Sharon

Oh, so many responses to make when I've got so much work to do!

1. Calling it a jewellery box dates you? Really?? I had no idea. To me it will always be a jewellery box, and I'm in my thirties!! Still, maybe it's the UK thing. Someone from England wouldn't say "storage closet" as that's very American. I prefer to think I'm English rather than old!!

2. Smythson. Hmph. Whenever I see that brand I just think of the Bullingdon Club, home to the most self-satisfied, misogynistic, men-only club in the UK. Excuse me, that should be "boys-only" - since most of its members are emotionally-stunted Old Etonians under 20 with teenage acne who have never met a woman in three dimensions before. Boy-men they may be, but history is decided not only on the playing fields of Eton but also in the dining halls of the Bullingdon.

Since most won't have a clue what I'm going on about: Smythson's creative director is Sam Cam, wife of PM David Cameron, who is an Old Etonian and former member of Oxford University's Bullingdon Club, which is all of the above. Women - exotic, mysterious, unknowable sirens that we are - have always been roundly banned. The saying has it that history is decided on the playing fields of Eton because the majority of Britain's prime ministers, and other movers and shakers, went to Eton. And the Bullingdon is drawn from those ranks.

Full disclosure: I have a nephew currently taking GCSEs at Eton. So far he seems unaffected by some of the elements there, although he has had his books thrown into the river by another boy. The boy thinks it's OK to do that, since Grandad owns the Ritz. Seriously.

There is one thing that can be said for Smythson and its laughable prices though: At least Victoria Beckham and her fellow chavs haven't colonized the brand yet. Poor old Burberry - it's still in the fashion ICU from the chav pack-attack. Daniella Westbrook, anyone? Burberry baby head-to-toe?

And thirdly: I love those storage containers that look like a mirror. I've coveted one ever since I knew they existed a few months ago. But the problem is, as with all other jewellery boxes, they're a burglar's dream!!

I hope you take advantage of the mother's day sales and get something. I'm going to try to do the same.
Most of my shopping is online because it's convenient (I have 2 little kids and any worthwhile stores are far away).
I'd love to get something that's roomy, made of wood, with an antique feel, but not too ornate. Over the last 10 months or so, I've bought a lot of pearls and they're crowding my jewelry box! More concerning is the fact that they could get damaged ! I think I will probably get the McKenna leather one from Pottery Barn like Monarch64 has. I'm notterribly drawn to leather but this box seems to have so much storage area!
cheers--Sharon

HI:

OOPS all my pearls are together. Except for my Links of London long strand--troublesome fine guage gold chain prohibits cohabitation.

Goodness, apparently I require several boxes. I tend to "pile". Again Oops.

Let me know what you find.

cheers--Sharon

I would love a jewelry box to use, but I would have the safety concerns that have been expressed here already. Someone over in CS just posted helpful tips from Jewelers Mutual on caring for your jewelry, and one of them was NOT to keep them in a jewelry box because it would make it too easy for a burglar. Instead, they said to use the jewelry box for costume only and put your good stuff in safe/safe deposit box/hide it Not in your bedroom...the problem is that it requires a memory if you are going to spread them all over in hiding places!

 

[baby nurse]

Hi Canuk-gal!
I wanted to let you know that I ended up getting the same jewelry box Monarch64 has(Gypsy's jewelry box thread). It's the McKenna Jewelry Armoire from Pottery Barn and I love it! I got the porcelaine blue leather. It seems to be great quality, it's got a lot of room and I'm really happy with it !
I wish I could post the link here, but I'm not computer savvy.
