Unique Gifts: Handmade Wooden Jewelry Box with Marquetry Details

Searching for unique gifts for a loved one can sometimes be a challenge. What do you give someone who has almost everything? You don’t just want to give her anything that everybody else has.

You want to get her something that’s one of a kind, something that will show her how much you love her and how special you think she is. Women have been keeping jewelry boxes for the longest time.

Remember when you used to have that small plastic box with the ballerina? You would watch her spinning around and around as you stored your most precious trinkets inside. These boxes hold many special memories and as girls grow into women, it grows in sentimental value.

This is what makes jewelry boxes a most welcome gift. Finding one that is different and out of the ordinary makes it even more special. It’s common to see jewelry boxes that are commercially mass-produced and sold at many retail outlets.

You don’t want to get one of these. You want a box that has been made with great care and attention to detail making handcrafted wooden boxes the ideal gift option. Wooden jewelry boxes are usually made from various hardwoods from all over the world.

They are carefully handcrafted by the artisan ensuring that each and every piece is impeccably sculpted. Add an elaborate marquetry design to the box and you have an even more extraordinary piece. Marquetry is the art of meticulously piecing together thin sheets of wood or veneers to form a beautiful pattern on the surface.

It takes a lot of skill and effort to accomplish such a work of art. From conceptualization to actual production, the entire process takes quite a significant amount of time. Different woods are selected taking into account grain pattern, color, and texture to give the best combination for each design.

Each piece is then assembled like a puzzle making sure that they fit perfectly next to each other to come up with a striking masterpiece. Since not all woods are the same, no two jewelry boxes are alike even if they have similar designs. Since each sheet of wood is unlike the next in terms of shades and pattern, you always get a product that is unique and not like the rest.

The longer the box is kept, the more personality and character it gains making it more striking than it already is. It’s wonderful to own a skillfully crafted box that is handy and trendy at the same time. Not only does it help you organize your jewelry collection, it also enhances a room by adding sophistication and charm.

Knowing that one’s masterfully skilled hand has created such an amazing work of art makes the jewelry box even more personal. The creativity, brilliance and skill that have gone into such amazing workmanship makes it more valuable. So if you’re still struggling with gift ideas, worry no more; you’re search is finally over.

Getting a wooden jewelry box embellished elaborately with marquetry will be a precious gift that the person you hold most dear will treasure and love for many, many years.
