For the largest jewelry collections
Considering that our ancient ancestors had a lot to do with the constantly evolving world of jewelry making, we owe them a great debt of thankfulness, for their inspirational means of fashioning functional and ornamental jewelry styles of various gold and stunning gemstones.
Sometimes even jewelry chests are not big enough to organize and store a fine collection of jewelry. In this case, a Jewelry Armoire is needed. An armoire is an actual piece of furniture and is the preferred way of storing a collection that is comprised of many necklaces.
There are two types of jewelry armoires: dresser top and floor standing. A dresser top jewelry armoire is a tall box with swing out sides. The swing-out sides are ideal for storing necklaces and the armoire may also have drawers providing divided storage areas for other jewelry besides the necklaces. The average size of a dresser top armoire is 10-14 inches across and 10-14 inches high. For a good jewelry armoire you can expect to pay from $100 to $300.
For the largest jewelry collections, floor standing armoires are a natural choice. They not only store jewelry but are also provide storage for scarves and lingerie. The floor standing armoires are truly fine pieces of furniture and are crafted to blend with popular bedroom furniture styles. The most popular finishes for the floor standing armoires are cherry and oak and they range in price from $200-500.
So, if you have a small jewelry collection you might start with a small jewelry box to be kept near your bed or on a dresser. And if your collection is larger or if you want a box that can serve as an heirloom, a jewelry chest could be what you need. Finally, for the largest amount of storage space the best choice is a dresser top or floor standing jewelry armoire.
