Jewellery has always carried meaning — a symbol of love, memory, and personal expression. For every piece of jewellery you own, there’s a story behind it. That’s why choosing the right jewellery box matters. It’s not only a place to store precious items but also an elegant piece of design that reflects your personal style.
At Forwood Design, we believe a jewellery box should feel as special as the treasures it holds. Our collection combines craftsmanship, history, and modern luxury — giving jewellery owners something timeless, practical, and beautiful to display in their homes.
A Short History of Jewellery Boxes
The story of jewellery boxes begins as far back as ancient Egypt, around 5000 BC. Wealthy Egyptians adorned themselves with gold and semi-precious stones and needed ornate boxes to protect their treasures. Through medieval Europe and the Renaissance, jewellery boxes evolved — from strongboxes to gifts of romance, and later, status symbols.
By the eighteenth century, they had become grand statements of artistry, with queens and nobles commissioning elaborate cabinets. By 1900, mass production made them accessible to everyone, turning the jewellery box into both a practical and sentimental possession.
What Makes a Jewellery Box Special?
A jewellery box is more than storage; it’s a personal sanctuary for your most meaningful pieces. Modern boxes combine function and beauty, lined in suede, fitted with mirrors, and crafted from luxurious materials. Each Forwood Design jewellery box continues this legacy — merging practicality with artistry.
