The development of jewelry boxes from ancient times to the present

Jewelry boxes have come in many shapes and forms since ancient Egypt first coined the concept of a "jewelry box," but traditionally, any container that can be used to store jewelry and jewelry-related precious items will do. Considered a jewelry box. Regardless of the appearance and form of the packaging box, their purpose is the same, but the user's perception of the jewelry box will be different.

The storage of jewelry has always been very important for jewelry lovers, but the earliest jewelry boxes were mainly used to keep valuables, not to ensure the quality of jewelry.

Jewelry boxes were commonly used in ancient Egypt as early as 5000 BC. Because most Egyptians, men, women and children wear jewelry. The favorite jewelry of the ancient Egyptians was gold, which was usually paired with various precious gemstones. Therefore, there is a need for a box that is large enough to keep the jewelry safe.

In Rome, jewelry was a status symbol, for example, people were only allowed to wear rings, brooches and other jewelry if they reached certain ranks.

Before the Victorian era, jewelry was a rare luxury, and being able to own enough jewelry and need to store it was only the privilege of a few royal families and members of high society.

After the industrial revolution, high-end jewelry became more and more popular because once stone, metal, etc. could be mechanically cut, the cost would decrease. Therefore, jewelry is also owned by more and more people, and people's demand for jewelry boxes is becoming more and more powerful. At this time, trinkets became more and more popular, so jewelry boxes at this time were much smaller than traditional jewelry boxes.

In modern times, generally precious jewelry will be stored in safes or special rooms. Therefore, modern jewelry boxes rarely have insurance facilities, and their main function is to prevent jewelry from being scratched and oxidized during transportation or storage. Although many gemstones are very hard and will not oxidize, there are also some jewelry, such as amethyst, emerald, etc. If exposed to direct sunlight or high temperature for a long time, it is easy to cause jewelry to depreciate.

For jewelry collectors, jewelry boxes provide a more attractive way to protect the quality of jewelry, while also being used for general storage. In short, the more precious your jewelry is, the more you need a jewelry box.

From ancient Egypt to modern times, the development and demand of jewelry boxes are constantly changing with the development of jewelry. However, no matter how the appearance and form of jewelry boxes change in development. The packaging box is determined according to the needs of jewelry and jewelry collectors.
