Sometimes it’s what’s on the inside and the outside that counts

Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but a girl’s also gotta have somewhere to safely store those gems. Behold, beautiful jewelry boxes, as unique in style as the carefully curated collection stowed inside. With meticulously organized interiors and stunning exteriors, these chic cases will be to her dresser what jewelry is to her dresses—the icing on the cake, the finishing touch. (Oh, and we’ve found a great box for the guys out there, too.)

For the Stargazer

Based in Melbourne, Australia, Trove’s jewelry boxes are made using traditional Lacquerware methods. Not so traditional are their updated, modern designs, like this gem-shaped case in collaboration with Sorellina, which celebrates the jewelry brand’s Tarot series with a celestial design.

For the Ever-so-Edgy

Known for his cheerily subversive interior design, Jonathan Adler’s Le Wink jewelry box is easy on the eyes, with a striking lacquer exterior and lavender velvet-lined interior. And that tasseled brass-plated keyplate is too good.

For the Minimalist

Influenced by her upbringing in her family’s toy business, Panisa Khunprasert’s designs have an undeniably whimsical air that’s balanced by function. This set of boxes features compartments of varying sizes and can be stacked together or styled side by side.

For the One With the Rad Retro Collection

A collaboration between Italian jewelry designer Bea Bongiasca and Wolf, which has been making jewelry cases since 1834, this box’s design was inspired by the swing and swagger of the 1970’s—truly a statement piece.

For the Refined Lady

Park Avenue’s Scully & Scully is a jewel box in itself, packed from wall to wall with rare goods and finds so fine Jackie O and Grace Kelly are both rumored to have shopped its aisles. Case in point? This exquisite shagreen jewelry box with bone trim, that might outshine any gems it holds.

For Him

With Rapport’s horological heritage, it’s no wonder the UK-based company is the go-to for winders and cases as luxurious as the timepieces they protect, like this watch box with room for ten of his favorite Hublots, Piagets, or Breguets.
