An endearing childhood memory for many women is the music jewelry box they had as a little girl. Their music jewelry box was a place that not only stored their most prized possessions; it played for them a song that they may still recognize so many years later. Jewelry boxes have always come in all shapes and sizes and played different songs, and they are as popular today as they ever were. Whether you are looking to recapture the magic of years gone by, or pass on the gift of a jewelry box to a young girl in your life, the ageless appeal of the music jewelry box still holds true today. A music jewelry box can come in a wide range of sizes. Some are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Others may be the size of a shoebox that fits neatly on your dresser or nightstand. And still others are like pieces of furniture that stand on their own and have compartments to hold your rings, necklaces, and everything in between. Large music jewelry boxes are usually constructed primarily out of wood, although they may be inlaid with glass, metal, or other embellishments that serve to decorate the box. The wood may have a natural finish - where the wood grain is visible - or it may be painted with a glossy, colored finish instead. Smaller boxes can also be made of wood, but it is not uncommon for them to be constructed of metal or even glass as well. But what is on the outside of a music jewelry box is only half of the equation; the real magic lies inside. The inside of a music jewelry box is the place where all the treasures are stored. Tiny drawers, compartments, and hiding places are there to provide a home for all your treasures. But more important, it is where the music lies. Nearly every style of music jewelry box begins to play its song when you open the box. The simple, yet charming sound of a music jewelry box is one that will create lasting memories, or take you back to a simpler time. If you have an interest in jewelry boxes there are many avenues for you to explore. There are retail stores that specialize in new music jewelry boxes, but you can also find them in antique stores or online. There are even music jewelry boxes that are considered works of art that cost thousands of dollars. No matter what avenue you choose, a music jewelry box can provide enjoyment now and for years to come.
