Jewelry, as a form of craft, originated with man's innate desire to adorn himself. It is the only craft that has never seen any stagnation along decades of evolution. Thus came the concept of cases or objects that would hold these beautiful pieces of ornaments.

Today, jewelry boxes are as much as a source of fascination as much jewelry itself. This is precisely because jewelry boxes, apart from being a utility item also presents an exquisite artifice of home décor. They are made using a variety of raw materials such as wood, brass, aluminium, copper, silver, iron, jute and cane. Boxes made up of wood represent intricate carvings defining various floral, geometrical, depictions of ancient drawings and designs. Items made with alloys exhibit fascinating use of wires to line different patterns, techniques like embossing and engraving coupled with use of metal and kundan beads. Cane boxes display exquisite workmanship in terms of its ornate weaving of the fibre.

The durability and long lasting nature of these utility items is what adds to the increasing demand of these products. The ageless beauty and workmanship depicted by these jewelry boxes have helped them maintain themselves as a major commodity for export in countries outside India as well.
