It’s kind of a coincidence that I was showing my boy an old musical jewelry box of mine before I wrote a buzz on handmade jewelry at Viva Woman earlier today.
The site which I covered, Overstock.com, not only has a wide selection of jewelry but some really pretty jewelry boxes as well. And they reminded me of a time when I would go gaga over these things.
I think I own my first jewelry box sometime in my secondary school after saving quite hard for it. Well, I suppose most girls would own one of these at some point of their lives. I collected a few along the way but purely because I like their designs, not because I have plenty of jewelry. Save for a few chains and dainty pieces, there isn’t much to show off. This probably explains why I spent more time polishing my jewelry boxes than cleaning my jewelry pieces.
But still, after going through the online store, I decided that I must get a jewelry armoire for myself now. A girl should have a musical jewelry box and a woman must have a jewelry armoire. Doesn’t matter if I don’t have such rings to stuff in there. Does it?
Those boxes you have are lovely…i’m not sure how gavin will take to appreciating them(?). I’m not much of a jewelry person but what I do have little heirlooms and rings which are too tiny for my fat fingers i hope to transmit one day to alix.
carrie: He appreciates the box because he’s amuse by the music. But I doubt he’ll value what’s in there for the fact that he’s a boy.

I used to buy from overstock while in the US, but didn’t know they now do international shipping. I like jewelry box too, even if it’s just to collect dust, and have nothing in it.
ee: No international shipping but can ship to Asia using vPost.
