Jewelry display cases are available in a vast range of designs, colors, materials and sizes. Jewelry cases should add to the beauty of jewels exhibited. They should keep the jewelry secure from theft and other kinds of damage. Also, the display need (home, collection, retail outlet) must be kept in mind while choosing a display case or box.

The display case material needs to be strong, with proper security devices likes locks. TechnoDisplay displays have tempered glass, lights and locks for security. If you need to travel with the entire jewelry set then the jewelry display case needs to be compact, light, and portable.

The issue of aesthetics is the next consideration. Antique jewelry and watches or heavy gold and silver jewelry sets look best in wooden display cases that are elegant and have an old world charm. Contemporary minimalist jewelry or Swarovsky pieces harmonize with aluminum and glass/ acrylic displays. Since individual pieces like chains, ear rings and finger rings are small items, they look poor if simply deposited in a large cabinet. Each individual piece needs to be put on a stand, and then the stand can either be put in a showcase or a shelf. Display case stores also retail such stands. The website JewelSupply.com sells necklace cases with a bar for draping necklaces and earring stands shaped like T-bar, tree, or whale fin. Rings are put on finger shaped displays that are then put inside display cabinets.

Most people who own jewelry don’t display them permanently. They simply leave open the lid of the jewelry box to allow inspection. People who are not collectors or those who are not retailing jewelry, there is a range of jewelry storage or display boxes available. JewelSupply.com stocks display boxes shaped like crystal and rose and websites like jewelrydisplay.packaging.net have inexpensive contemporary, chic, light display cases and boxes to choose from.

Jewelry is perhaps the most beautiful of all collectibles. An appropriate display case enhances its beauty and a well chosen display or storage box adds value to the precious ornament inside.

It is more than likely that you have accumulated many jewelry boxes through the years. These individual boxes are taking up space in drawers and on top of chests and dressers. Sorting through these boxes to find a certain necklace, bracelet, or pair of earrings to wear is taking far too much time. A jewelry armoire provides an attractive and practical solution for organizing your jewelry collection.

There are several things to consider before purchasing a jewelry armoire. Jewelry armoires and jewelry chests come in different shapes and sizes, but each one should have a number of divided felt-lined drawers for rings, earrings, and pins, hooks for necklaces and bracelets, easy-to-open doors, and top and side mirrors for easy viewing. In addition, many jewelry chests have separate compartments for lingerie or accessories that you may find useful.

Jewelry armoires are more than a place to keep your valuables, they are beautiful additions to bedroom furniture. The finish of a jewelry armoire should match your bedroom furniture in style and finish. Jewelry armoires come in a variety of antique and traditional finishes, such as cherry, oak, pine, maple, birch, and mahogany. Some jewelry chests are hand painted with floral designs or carved, some are simple in design and others are more ornate. Unfinished armoires are available as well. The selection of a jewelry armoire is ultimately a personal choice, but it should blend in nicely with the overall interior décor of your home.

The size of the jewelry armoire is extremely important. You need to consider how much room you have and what type of space you have to put the chest. Will a round, semi-round, tall, or rectangular size armoire be more appropriate for the space your planning to use. You may be tempted to purchase a jewelry chest that will be adequate for your present jewelry collection, however, it might be advisable to buy a larger size in anticipation of future needs.

Since armoires usually range in price from several hundred to over a thousand dollars, depending upon workmanship and style, it is always wise to shop around and compare prices at several furniture retailers to find one that will fit your budget. However, it is important to examine the overall construction and quality of interior and exterior design, as well as price, before buying a jewelry armoire. Buying a jewelry chest is a wise investment, a valuable heirloom that will last for years.

Jewelry can be the perfect gift for mom on Mother’s Day, but there are pitfalls, especially if you rush at the last minute. Procrastination and a lack of knowledge can be rewarded with overpaying for a piece of jewelry or even worse, being ripped-off.

A gift of jewelry can be expensive. Asking friends, family and co-workers if they can recommend a website, brick and mortar store or local crafts person can help. Checking with the better business bureau is also a commendable approach.

When you are shopping, ask the salesperson to write down any information you might rely on to make your purchase and before you buy, ask for the store’s refund and return policy. When ordering online, keep printouts of the web pages with details about the transaction, including refund and return policies if you’re not satisfied.

Six Smart Shopping Tips for Mother’s Day and Beyond

1. There’s a big difference between 14 karat gold and gold-plated jewelry. Fourteen karat (14K) jewelry contains 14 parts of gold, mixed in throughout with 10 parts of base metal. Gold-plated describes jewelry with a layer of at least 10K gold bonded to a base metal. Gold plating eventually wears away, depending on how often the item is worn and how thick the plating is.

2. If you’re buying a watch, determine whether you want one that runs on a battery or one that must be wound daily. Ask if a warranty or guarantee is included, how long it lasts, and what parts and repair problems it covers. Also ask how and where you can get the watch serviced and repaired.

3. Know the difference between laboratory-created gemstones and naturally mined stones. Stones created in the lab are visually identical to stones mined from the earth. The big difference is in the cost: laboratory-created stones are less expensive then naturally mined stones. But because they look must like stones mined from the earth, they must be identified as lab-created. If you want a naturally mined stone, ask if it has been treated. Gemstone treatments- such as heating, dyeing or bleaching- can improve a stone’s appearance or durability. Some treatments are permanent; some may create special care requirements. Treatments also may affect the stone’s value.

4. Ask whether pearls are imitation or real. Real pearls are made by oysters or other mollusks; imitation pearls are man-made. Cultured pearls are made by mollusks with human intervention; and irritant introduced into their shells causes a pearl to grow. Real pearls that are not cultured are fairly rare and expensive. The cost depends on the size, usually stated in millimeters, and the coating or “nacre” on a real pearl, which gives it its iridescence.

5. When you’re buying a diamond, consider four criteria: cut, color, clarity and weight, usually stated as carats. Each factor affects the price. Color is sometimes “graded” on a scale. However, scales are not uniform: a “D” may be the best color for one scale, but not for another. Make sure you know how a particular scale and grade represent the color of the diamond you’re considering. A diamond can be described as “flawless” only if it has no visible surface cracks or other imperfections when viewed under 10-power magnification by a skilled diamond grader.

6. One final tip, Mom’s love longer (i.e. 24″) gold or sterling chains with gemstone pendants. And you can almost never go wrong with the very popular omega-style chains in various widths in sterling silver or gold.
