Wooden jewelry boxes and chests that lock with a key, with one to four lined drawers, swing-out side compartments for necklaces, lift-out trays and lined compartments. Finishes run from high-gloss burl and bubinga to matte cherry and mahogany.

How to choose
- A few pieces: a single-tray box or a fold-out top box keeps everyday rings and earrings in reach.
- A full collection: a 3 or 4-drawer chest with swing-out sides gives necklaces room to hang without tangling.
- Watches too: a watch and jewelry box holds several watches alongside rings and cuff links.
- Earrings and cuff links: a sectioned box with a glass lid keeps pairs together and visible.
Why lining matters
Soft lining stops metal rubbing against metal, which causes most of the fine scratching on a chain or a polished band. Sterling silver tarnishes faster in a sealed box than in open air, so a lined drawer that is opened often is better than an airtight case.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a jewelry box and a jewelry chest?
A jewelry chest is taller, with several drawers and often swing-out sides for necklaces. A jewelry box is lower, usually with a lid, one or two trays or drawers.
Are these solid wood?
They are wood with a real wood veneer on the outside, which shows figured grain like burl without the warping solid burl would have.
