Collecting vintage jewelry is a great way to display and reuse fashion pieces that are unique and have a little history behind them, vintage jewelry boxes make a great place to keep them. For as long as jewelry has been created, a special place to tuck them into has always existed. In the past, jewelry boxes were carefully crafted and embellished boxes in which to keep a few beautiful pieces.

If you are looking to begin collecting vintage jewelry boxes, or for some new places to shop, here are a couple of my favorite places to shop.

Always Treasured
Always Treasured is an online retailer that offers a great selection of antique and vintage jewelry, vintage jewelry boxes and other collectibles. Covering a wide span of styles and eras, the vintage jewelry boxes from Always Treasured have been chosen for their unique designs and fine quality. The selection includes hand painted porcelain boxes, reproduction print boxes, and beautifully carved jewelry boxes.

Orders can be processed online and prices vary by the quality and age of each jewelry box. I have found the prices from Always Treasured to be slightly higher than vintage jewelry boxes that I have found in person, but the quality is very good and prices do reflect that. www.alwaystreasured.com

Granny's Jewelry Box
I was first attracted to the name of this online retailer, my own love for and vintage jewelry collection started with my own grandmother's jewelry box. Ultimately though, it was the selection the kept me looking and coming back.

Granny's Jewelry Box does not have a huge inventory of vintage jewelry boxes, but it does make them available as the pieces are acquired. If you are really serious about buying or collecting these boxes, check the website regularly since they are usually sold very soon after they are posted. The condition and, if possible, background details of each piece is collected and given as each item is listed. Orders can be placed online using Paypal, credit card or check or money order. www.grannysjewelrybox.com
