How Much For A Good Jewelry Box?

Jackhound Mom · ‎03-09-2010

I've had a few Mele boxes over the years from QVC. The last one I got was for my DH which was large with a glass top and watch rolls for his solar watch. It was about $120 which was more that we had ever paid and it was not wood. It's black leather like fabric.

Mine was getting too full so I ordered one very similar from Q not remembering the price of the last one. It does not have glass and is also vinyl but it cost $200. Once I compaired the prices I thought I got the wrong charge because now it is "no longer available." A wood one (same size) is $100 from here.

Is there a reason or advantage to vinyl fabric? There are no reviews on the $200 one I just got. If anyone else got it could you please let me know if it is holding up?

Thank you,

Cathy

@Jackhound Mom no, I have not had vinyl. I actually bought 2 boxes that fit in a dresser. They have a clear top bordered by fabric. The problem is the fabric and clear plastic have separated. This is a Lori Grenier (sp?) product and I contacted her customer service twice and never received an answer. I will NEVER purchased anything from Lori again.

I have a Laurie Grinear (sp?) standing one, one on my dresser, smaller on beside that on the dresser, and I have a ring holder from HSN so I can see some of the other ones. I've collected quite awhile.

My favorite jewelry boxes came from Q 15+ years ago. Lori Greiner offered them. The first one I got was a hard plastic. The second one I got was wood. They were probably 20" long by 12" wide and about 4" deep. It had 2 levels inside. The top levels were removable trays and had 1 to 1-1/2" squares which were perfect for earrings and pendants. The bottom layers had varying sized separations with anti-tarnish lining. I still have these and they look like new. I would love another but she doesn't bring them back.

I also have a Mele box with 88 squares that I use for earrings. I prefer the vinyl because the fabric collects too much dust. I got solid top because the glass will easily fall out or get pushed out with a little pressure.

I prefer to not use dresser top jewelry boxes unless lined with treated fabric to keep jewelry from tarnishing. My biggest reason is theft. Nothing like a jewelry box in plain sight for a fast get away...also a jewelry armoire, over the door earring cases, etc.

The top 2 drawers of my dresser are deep enough to hold treated jewelry store display trays (not expensive if check wholesale jewelry supply catalogues). That’s where I keep my every day things that I wear most often. The pieces that I only wear occasionally are locked in a small safe bolted to the wall studs in my closet and connected to our alarm system.

I love rings, I love the prestige box from Colleen on HSN.

I love that brand and have one in the vinyl and one in cherry wood. I prefer the wood because I think that it preserves the jewelry longer. However, I am very pleased with the vinly watch keepr box.I actually thought the difference was just price. The wood one that I pruchased was twice the price of the vinly watch box. i think it is just a matter of personal preference. I haven't seen too many jewelry boxes (nice ones) advertised or listed on websites. Maybe they aren't selling or it's just shelf space in the stores. Who knows. I would choose the one that fits your jewelry needs.

I have the curved stand-up swivel one of LG's and many boxes from HSN Prestige collection. All of these have a tarnish liner. I would never buy one if it didn't come with that fabric. All my jewelry is sterling silver and I have yet to have to polish any of it. The stand up one was $299 and the boxes are all reasonable.
