Jewellery Boxes
Jewellery boxes are safe storage cases used to keep jewellery. They came in different sizes and designs, and are usually made of wood, leather, metal and glass. The materials used in jewellery boxes are ensured to be durable to stand the test of time and environmental elements such as rain, cold and heat.

The practice of keeping prized possessions and personal treasures in special chests and coffers can be traced back to the ancient times. Pompeian wall paintings show large wooden chests with clawed feet for money and clothing. Early jewellery boxes, such as the Roman treasure chests, were usually strengthened with metal and closed with locks. They were also intricately designed and crafted by skilled craftsmen to make them as precious as the treasures they store.
