Gift Guide: How to Choose the Best Jewelry Armoire for your Lady

Jewelry armoires are a classic and elegant way for a woman to store her most precious jewelry. However, just like heart shaped jewelry, this isn’t a gift women typically purchase for themselves due to its romantic nature. If you’re planning on surprising your special lady with a jewelry armoire, inform yourself on the most important buying factors using the guidelines below.

1. Safety first. If your lady will be storing high-end, expensive jewelry in her jewelry armoire, consider purchasing a locking jewelry armoire. Many armoires are equipped with locking drawers that can only be opened with a key. Or, for a less fussy option, purchase a jewelry armoire that looks like a picture frame to the naked eye.

2. Style. The jewelry armoire you choose should fit in seamlessly with the furniture that is currently in the room. In order to make the armoire look “at home” and as if it belongs, look for an armoire with similar finishes to the existing furniture. Most people tend to look for an armoire that is close in color to their bedroom furniture while completely disregarding finish of the drawer knobs and pulls. An armoire that is a bit off in color can easily be incorporated into the room; an armoire with brass drawer pulls, however, will stick out like a sore thumb in a room with predominantly chrome fixtures.
3. Size. Though large in size, some jewelry armoires lack defined storage for delicate jewelry. Be sure that most drawers are designed to hold a specific type of jewelry, rather than empty drawers that are better suited for jewelry box storage. It’s also important to consider where in the room the jewelry armoire is likely to be placed. The swing-out arms on a large jewelry armoire may be too large for the space it’s intended for. So, it is best to measure the area before ordering the armoire for your lady.
