Best Gifts For Women: Sophisticated Wooden Jewelry Box with Beautiful Marquetry Pattern
Surprising the most important woman in your life with something special for your anniversary is always a big deal. However, it can sometimes be quite difficult to find best gifts for women especially if they have very discriminating tastes. If your wife always receives jewelry for special occasions, then it would be good if you gave her a beautiful container to keep her prized possessions.
There are a myriad of options when it comes to jewelry boxes. They can be constructed from a variety of materials such as leather, glass, plastic or fabric. But if you want a more elegant and truly extraordinary box, then a beautifully handcrafted wooden box is the perfect choice.
There is just something about wood that is unlike other materials. The creativity and expertise it takes to make a wooden jewelry box makes it very special. Not only is it used to store your trinkets, but it is a masterpiece in itself.
If you want to give a wooden jewelry box that will make a lasting impression, choose one with in-laid marquetry. Marquetarians create wonderful, intricate designs that showcase the beauty of the box even more. They painstakingly cut pieces of thin wood or veneers and fit each part together to form a striking pattern.
These artisans often work with exotic burl woods such as thuya, walnut, oak, redwood, maple and many more. Burl wood is very attractive because of its interesting grain patterns that can be wavy, curly or may resemble 'eyes' or small black dots. It is fascinating to note that burls are actually abnormalities on trees.
Burls are abnormal growths found on some trees caused by a fungal attack or insect infestation. But due to their unusual ring patterns and shapes, they have become highly sought after by many artisans. Since they are very rare, they can be quite difficult to acquire.
For example, the thuya burl is a revered wood that comes from Morocco.
It is sometimes even considered a national treasure. Woodworkers have been using it for centuries and in fact it is even been mentioned in the Bible as the 'Thyine' wood. As such, it is a favorite material for religious items.
Artisans love to work with the thuya burl because it is easy to carve and polish. Its striking 'bird's eyes' design is perfect for making boxes, furniture, trinkets, statues, plates and other types of wood work. But the Moroccan government has prohibited its export due to overharvesting.
In less skilled hands, working with burl wood can be a challenge because it is more fragile and delicate than other types of wood. It is harder to saw, cut or chisel without splitting because of its irregular pattern. So it takes a great deal of expertise and skill to be able to work with this type of material.
The various marquetry patterns that are crafted out of natural burl wood can add to the appeal of a jewelry box. Just as a woman's jewelry is a personal expression of her character and taste, so should the container that she keeps it in. An exquisite wooden jewelry organizer stays classic and timeless – just as your love is for her.
