Wooden Jewelry Boxes

The elegance and durability of wooden jewelry boxes 

The use of jewelry and body adornments dates back to the dawn of time. Even in prehistoric times, researchers found traces of jewelry originating from South Africa. The famous adornments discovered were pierced shells! The perforations and signs of wear on the shells clearly indicate that they were intended to be worn. In Europe, animal teeth used as pendants or earrings also began to appear around the same time.

What is most fascinating is that these teeth were often found far from the habitats of the animals in question, proof that humans were already nomadic and engaged in trade. What we still do not know is how these women preserved their adornments and whether they held the same value then as they do for us today. In any case, if they had had boxes at that time, they would have been unlikely to be made of glass or faux leather; however, everything suggests that they may have owned wooden jewelry boxes, since this material was already widely used in prehistoric times.

Jewelry: a thousand and one meanings

We do not really know what symbolism was associated with jewelry at that time. Later in history, we learn that jewelry was initially often associated with prestige or religion. The functions of a piece of jewelry vary greatly depending on the era and culture. While jewelry has become mainly decorative and sentimental for us today, some pieces can reveal information about their wearer’s social status and religious beliefs. A wedding ring, for example, can reveal its owner’s religion and marital status. Certain amulets and other talismans can give an idea of their wearer’s beliefs.

Choosing wood to preserve your adornments

It would be very wise of you to choose wood to store your jewelry. A natural material used for all kinds of construction since time immemorial, wood appeals for its strength and versatility. The most eco-conscious among us appreciate wood for its renewable and biodegradable nature, which gives it a good environmental performance. While it is known not to get along too well with water, it is nevertheless perfect for protecting jewelry, gemstones, curb chains, and other necklaces from humidity. Recognized as a noble material, we love it for its aesthetics and originality. Indeed, it is virtually impossible for two pieces of wood, even from the same tree, to be perfectly identical. The grain varies, giving every object a truly unique character. Did you know that it has a better strength-to-weight ratio than concrete or steel? Yet another good reason to store your most extravagant sets in our solid wood or real wood jewelry boxes, with guaranteed safety!

Contrary to what one might think, this material is also more resistant to fire. Yes, ladies, imagining that wood burns like a match is a misconception. All these advantages make wooden boxes and jewelry cases excellent protective homes for your treasures.
