Some of these materials used for creation of your jewelry box include wood, glass, metal, and porcelain. The one that most are accustomed to is wooden flip top lids with musical song that lightly plays in background. However, there have been changes and improvements in making of a jewelry box, and there are now very beautifully made wooden jewelry boxes made from dark cherry wood, and there is now also style of jewelry box that is being made from carved and polished marble. You can choose from a very wide range and pick one which suits your taste and pocket at same time. The jewelry box has a soft lining of velvet inside, such that precious things you store in it are not damaged in any way.
