Children's Jewellery Boxes
From handcrafted jewellery boxes covered with glitter and painted pasta, to musical jewellery boxes resembling something out of a movie, the concept of a jewellery box is one which, to most children, makes them feel like a real grown up. Providing somewhere special to keep their more prized items turns their jewellery box into a keeper of great treasure, particularly if the hard shell of the box conceals additional treasures within such as a spinning figurine or a musical melody.
For those who cannot afford or don’t have access to these store brought jewellery cases, making your own jewellery box is just as special if not more so – whether you decide to opt down the school club route of adding dry pasta and glitter, or something a little more elegant such as an intricate design and hand glued jewels.
The primary reason why children, particularly young girls, like jewellery boxes is that it gives them a sense of being a real grown up with real treasures. These children see their parents opening and hiding away possessions in a jewellery box and they want that for themselves – with the high street’s selection of jewellery boxes for children giving them all the fun of a secret box but none of the real value.
Of course, that’s not to say that children’s jewellery can’t be valuable, with family heirlooms providing as much worth as something with a high cost – worthy of being stored away in a special place such as a dedicated jewellery box.
Popular with children of all ages, musical jewellery boxes have the added feature of playing a tune whenever the lid is lifted; often accompanied by a spinning figure who moves in time with the music until the tune runs out. These jewellery boxes can be wound up to play again, and are of particular value as family heirlooms with many homeowners in possession of jewellery boxes that they were given as children.
As well as the more traditional wooden musical boxes, the modern market now boasts a series of more affordable models made from reinforced cardboard and plastic, creating child-friendly jewellery boxes which can be easily replaced and don’t cause as much damage if dropped.
TOP TIP: Any box with a lid can be a hazard for small fingers, so make sure to keep the jewellery box out of the reach of any small child who may end up with trapped fingers.
As well as storing prized possessions, a jewellery box in any bedroom can also serve as a really stylish and much-coveted decorative accessory. The current market is filled with neutral and plain accessories for both adults and children, with some of the most popular jewellery boxes currently available being painted white – some plainly, and some with more of an intricate pattern added to the exterior for additional décor.
The clasp of the jewellery box is another aesthetic feature which you should take note of – not only to ensure your child isn’t so heavy handed that they break it, but also as a means influencing the design and appearance of the box, and how long it will last.
The best selection of jewellery boxes for children tend to be handcrafted from wood, though the rise in manmade materials means that the market now benefits from a series of more affordable and less durable ranges of boxes for all ages. Head to department stores and interior retailers for children’s rooms, for the best selection.
