If you have a jewelry collection, then it is equally important that you have a jewelry box to store your jewelry collection in. Jewelry boxes ensure that your jewelry is stored safely, organized, and that it is protected from dirt, dust, and unfortunate mishaps that befall jewelry that does not have a proper home. For some women jewelry boxes are much more than just boxes for storage and organization. Sometimes jewelry boxes take on sentimental value when presented as a gift from a special someone or family member. Additionally, jewelry boxes that have been handed down from generation to generation may be considered a family heirloom. In some instances a woman may have received a jewelry box as a child which they have since outgrown. In each of these scenarios, knowing when to replace a jewelry box is not always clear. Whatever the situation, here are some reasons that you may want to consider replacing your jewelry box.

• You are an adult with your own family but you still store your jewelry in a pink musical jewelry box with a dancing ballerina that you received as a child and it does not match anything in your bedroom. It may be time to grow up now. Give the pink jewelry box to your own daughter or store it away for sentimental purposes and buy something that matches your bedroom décor.
• Your jewelry box is scratched, dinged, and generally looks abused. It no longer looks nice compared to all of your new bedroom furniture. Go ahead and splurge. After all the money you spent on nice furniture, now you are going to ruin the atmosphere with an old beat up jewelry box on your dresser? No way!
• Your jewelry box is falling apart. For example:
  • The hinges have come undone and are no longer fixable.
  • The interior mirror has cracked or broken.
  • The lining is falling out of the box or it is so dirty that it cannot be cleaned properly. This is bad for your jewelry and may cause it to scratch or tarnish since it is no longer protected properly.
  • The little drawers or doors stick and will not open properly.
• Your jewelry collection has outgrown your jewelry box. This is a perfect excuse to go out and purchase a new jewelry armoire for your large jewelry collection.
