A Jewelry Stand For Every Woman

Jun 042010

It’s 2010, and women are now, more than ever, deeply entrenched within what used to be a male-dominated society, yet there’s nary a jewelry stand to be found in their home. Women have power now, wield authority in strong political positions, maintain powerful careers as doctors, lawyers, business women, athletes, blue-collar workers, you name it. Women are out there doing things they’ve never been able to do before.

Yet to maintain that freedom they’ve often sacrificed their femininity. This has happened partly as a means to help them keep one step ahead of the men they fear are still trying to hold them back, and partly just because beauty-maintenance got forgotten, lost behind utility and efficiency.

Yes, women have forgotten. They have forgotten that they can remain feminine and still keep their edge in the world. And women need reminders of this fact right out there in their face. A great place to start reminding is to add a jewelry stand to each woman’s vanity-station.

Jewelry stands, like their cousins the jewelry boxes, are an immediate, crystal-clear reminder for women to acknowledge their own femininity, and to display that femininity proudly for the world to see. These days, there is a fantastic variety of jewelry display stands to choose from, each one suitable to a specific temperament of woman. There are elegant Victorian-style jewelry holders, or contemporary-teen themed ones. So don’t be shy about it, girls! Get a jewelry stand for yourself today. Put it right next to your mirror, and remember to dress yourself up just a little before rushing out the door to work or your other activities.

Don’t hide your jewelry away in some dusty drawer like some cheap and unwanted costume jewelry. What good will it do you there? Out-of-site is out-of-mind, so reverse the trend with a jewelry display stand that looks cute and reminds you that you can be powerful and beautifully feminine at the same time! I can promise you that the modern man appreciates a girl who can show off her beauty and sensuality while still operating her own business or struggling along side them in the working world. Being as butch as the guys you’re working around isn’t as necessary these days, and a bit of feminine dazzle can do wonders for your mood.

Shop around. Buy one for yourself today. Heck buy one for your daughter, your mother, your niece or your best friend! Remind yourself of your femininity every day. Every woman really, truly needs their very own jewelry stand.

5 Of The Most Popular Jewelry Boxes Today

Jun 112010

Jewelry boxes are a hot commodity these days. As fashion statements, or beloved trinket boxes handed down through the generations, they have maintained a treasured status among women and girls of all ages. A jewelry box is just as needed and just as useful in today’s times as it once was decades ago. With that in mind, I thought it useful to point out five of the more popular choices women make today:

Fabric Jewelry Box

This jewelry box comes in at about #5. It is Ideal for the traveling woman in need of bringing her wardrobe and accessories with her in an organized manner. These cases usually have about two dozen compartments for rings and earrings, as well as pouches for mirrors and necklaces. An excellent and durable case for travel, you can find it in various colors : white jewelry boxes, black jewelry boxes, etc. The fabric box it is also the cheapest style you can find on the market, averaging about $20-$25 USD.

Closet-Style Oak Jewelry Boxes

Closet-style oak jewelry boxes rank about #4 with the ladies. Coming with great reviews, these boxes often look like miniature closets or entertainment stands. They can be found with glass windows in the doors, and detailed etchings in the wood and glass. The glass panes offer great visibility, allowing you to quickly find the jewelry pieces you are after. They are a bit pricier than the basic fabric boxes, averaging about $50-$60 USD for the better models.

Traditional Wooden Jewelry Box

These jewelry boxes rank at #3. They are a bit more popular than the closet-style oak jewelry boxes mostly due to the lock-and-key functionality. Made of solid wood, and finished in a variety of colors, these boxes are designed like small chests, with a compartmented earring boxes at the top, beneath the locking lid, and two or three drawers underneath for necklaces and other jewelry. The lock isn’t meant to deter a truly determined thief, but does prevent children or indiscriminate visitors from being able to open the box. I’ve found prices ranging from $99-$180 USD, depending on your taste for extravagance.

Josephine Wooden Jewelry Box

The Josephine is a product produced by the Mele brand name. It ranks specifically at #2 because of its craftsmanship and design. These stained-oak jewelry boxes feature both a large interior mirror and double-hinged necklace side-doors. Access and presentation blend beautifully here. Surprisingly, it prices in a bit cheaper than the last jewelry box: approximately $80-$100 USD, depending on your retailer.

Wall-Mounted Jewelry Box

At #1, the wall-mounted jewelry boxes are definitely one of the most popular styles you’ll find today. Today’s women are often more affluent than the women of generations gone. This means they acquire greater quantities of beautiful jewelry, and are often at loss as to where to store everything so that it is accessible and unforgotten. Wall-mounted jewelry boxes present the perfect solution by a) hanging conveniently on a wall near a mirror or closet, taking up zero counter-space, and b) being larger than your average mahogany or oak jewelry boxes, they have fantastic storage space while nicely displaying as much as possible. Pricing, of course, is higher than the other selections, about $190-$250 USD for most models, and well worth the cost.

And there you have it. I hope this quick rundown has helped you choose your favorite from among today’s most popular JEWELRY BOXES.
