Exquisitely Carved Jewelry Boxes For Women
Women have an affinity to jewelry and love to own beautiful jewelry boxes to store them in. If you really like handicrafts then here is some information, from around the world, on jewelry boxes for women that you will find interesting. Before you invest in a jewelry box ascertain whether you want the box as a show piece or to actually store your jewelry safely.
You can look at delicately carved jewelry boxes that come with brass embellishments all over them. The designs are so intricate it is very difficult to fathom how they have been created. Even the latch comes with some delicate work on it.
Thailand is famous for the art and craft work done on many items. Thai artisans are very skilled and have the latest machinery to help them improve on their skills. They prefer to make their boxes from cherry wood.
Thai craftsmen use precious stones and ivory to further enhance the look of the box. Boxes are also carved out of bone. Animal bones are seasoned and then used to create some designs. Formaldehyde is the only chemical used to mask bad odours. As soon as this is done, artisans are then able to show off their skills. Boxes made of sandal wood have a pleasant aroma to them.
Ages ago, these boxes were used by kings and royalty as commoners were unable to afford it. They have some beautiful carving on them as well. Chests made of Sandal wood have been popular in India for centuries and those originating from the city of Mysore are especially beautiful. Authentic sandal wood boxes never lose their smell and so you should be sure of buying the real thing at the outset.
You also get wooden boxes that come with marble designs. The most famous are the Arabic and Egyptian designs on marble. These designs make use of contrasting colors and have borders that are colored in gold or black. Marble designs that are white have their borders in black or gold. Black boxes have designs done in white, gold or black and these are gorgeous combinations.
You will also find boxes with designs of lines and flowers. Stones are used in the creation of the flower designs and this adds to the intricacy of the box.
This particular art form is called Shalibadra. These boxes cannot be used to keep jewelry safe as they do not come with latches. It, however, makes for a wonderful showpiece!
Ivory boxes, though famous can be extremely expensive. The work done on it is extraordinary and to own one would be quite prestigious. Ivory is basically elastic and is fibrous to a large extent. These characteristics make it ideal for carving compared to wood or stone. It can be used only in minute quantities specifically for the design.
Thanks to the skill of artisans, you can easily get the design you want according to your budget. Since they are handcrafted, they also make wonderful gifts. So go right ahead and treat yourself or a loved one to a superbly designed jewelry box.
