A jewellery box for valentines day will touch your love's heart and earn many brownie points. When the word Jewellery is mentioned, it is usually the precious gems which come to mind. However, endeavouring to protect and store those precious gems opens us up to the whole panorama of the world of jewellery boxes.
Most of us store our Valentines day jewellery presents in the box it came in or squashed into some other container which is far too small for the amount of items it contains. The quality of life is enhanced by the presence of a beautiful jewellery box on one's dressing table, complete with enough compartments such as ring rolls, suitable to all types and pieces of jewellery and with enough room to select one's jewellery for the day, at a glance.
Jewellery Boxes are uniquely charming and wonderfully romantic gifts for St Valentine's Day and they are a beautiful addition to all dressing tables.
The history of jewellery boxes dates back many hundreds of years. Throughout the ages, jewellery boxes have been designed and crafted by skilled craftsmen. Many of these jewellery boxes were works of art in themselves, apart from the precious stones they housed. The Industrial Revolution brought mass production, thus reducing the cost of making jewellery boxes and enabled all classes of society to purchase hitherto expensive decorative items like the jewellery box. As long as Valentines Day has been celebrated, jewellery boxes have been a favourite Valentines gift for the more discerning lover.
Jewellery Boxes are one of the most common items passed down from family to family. In the early 1900's, there was huge mass production of jewellery boxes in the Art Nouveau fasion - romantic design, flowing, asymmetrical lines, and motifs relating to nature. The jewellery boxes of the art nouveau design reflected flower sentiments such as the rose on their lids. Most were made from copper and finished with gold and silver. Jewellery boxes from this era are now very rare and considered antique. Give an Art Nouveau jewellery box this Valentines Day & the effect on your lady will be immense !
