Jewelry boxes have been around for centuries and provide jewels a place to be kept safe and clean. With the Industrial Revolution and later mail-order catalogs, jewelry boxes were easily available to women and could be made from any number of materials, such as metal.
What jewelry boxes did your mother or grandmother have? Do you remember what they held? Sometimes jewelry boxes have other important items stored within. Did you inherit a jewelry box?
