Following on from my post about Elizabeth Taylors stunning jewellery auction Ive been thinking about my own love for unusual, vintage accessories. I recently brought a victorian jewellery box as a new home for my stash as I think its a fitting way to store your valuables. Mine dates from around 1870 and has been refurbished so the interior is new, its a plush velvet with lots of little compartments. Victorian and Vintages jewellery boxes were so beautifuly intricate, having hidden compartments and dividers to keep everything in order, unlike some of my modern boxes which are just one big vortex!

I love the signs of wear and tear on the wood, adds character! The best places to find antique boxes are EBay as well as vintage shops.
Here are some other examples of boxes to get ideas from...
