Jewelry box is a wooden container that is used to store various types of jewelry. Jewelry boxes are almost always accompanied by a secure lid or cover. The lid is hinged to the box and is made more secure by the help of a latch. Jewelry boxes have separate compartments within the box to keep the different pieces of jewelry. A jewelry box can also be double-storied, where each storey may be used to store separate things. The upper layer, usually, is used to store bangles while the lower layer is divided into small spaces to store the different jewelry pieces. In the earlier days women used to store their money or precious belongings within these jewelry boxes themselves. The outside of these jewelry boxes may have ivory or metal inlay work. The inside of the wooden jewelry boxes are covered with a velvet cloth.
