Looking at jewelry boxes from a purely functional standpoint, they hold your jewelry and not only protect them from harm but also organize your pieces as well.

One jewelry box probably houses your rings while another houses your necklaces or bracelets. There is no right or wrong method to using jewelry boxes.
Cardboard jewelry boxes are not just pieces of paper product. Chances are that these cardboard boxes have decorative coatings and finishes on them to last for a long time.

Little girls, tweens and teenagers whose tastes continually change may receive several cardboard jewelry boxes during their lives before they mature and can appreciate something fancier.
A wood jewelry box is a great idea for something a bit more permanent. Jewelry boxes from wood can come in a variety of shapes, colors and decorative accents.
