Jewelry Boxes: Mesmerizing Beauty in Stone and Gem Inlay

Despite their heavy weight, jewelry boxes in stone can be one of the most ornate possessions you own. Jewelry boxes such as these serve to enhance the spot they are placed in. They are a gorgeous way of storing your jewelry pieces as well.

Jewelry boxes made of stone come in several shapes and sizes. There are also a number of stones from which they can be created. Every one of these stone boxes can be enhanced further with several decorative techniques like carving and gem inlay work. The price of these boxes depends on how intricate the work on them is. Marble is one of the most popular stones used in the making of stone jewelry boxes.

Boxes from India have a significant amount of cultural significance to them. Kashmiri and Lucknowi brides are given their jewelry in large marble cases meant especially for this. North Indians also use such decorative marble boxes to hold religious books like the Ramayana and the Koran.

{In the making of these boxes, the marble is cut to the size needed and then polished to bring forth a natural sheen.|When making these boxes, they are cut down to the size required and then polished to bring out their natural sheen. The gem inlay inspired by Emperor Shahjahan and the artisans of the Taj Mahal is used to decorate jewelry boxes.

Floral patterns are made out of gemstones like carnelian, lapis lazuli, jasper and reconstituted turquoise. In small boxes, up to 500 gemstones can be used in the creation of a design. An integration of natural minerals and some coupling agents results in Incolay which comes from the words "in-layers-of color".

When the several stratas of natural stones come together they form some really beautiful variegations. Artwork in white is then done to further enhance it. Scenery or floral based scenes are usually created. Designs can be like a windblown ship at sea or dolphins jumping in water or even a family of penguins.

Another popular style in India are boxes made of Gorara stone. This soap stone is taken from a metamorphic rock and used largely in the making of sculptures. Common in Indian architecture is perforated ornamental work known as ‘jali’ and this is used in decorating soapstone boxes. Some artisans choose their stones based on the kind of work they want done on it.

The Huamanga stone, though fragile has been the choice of a few artisans especially for the creation of religious motifs. After the detailing, they are sanded over to get that natural finish. Jewelry boxes are also popularly made out of sandstone. They are available in a range of colors like Dholpur Beige or the Bansi Paharpur Pink and are popularly used in India. Karauli or the Agra Red and the Jaisalmer Yellow are other colors to look for.

Gem inlay is largely done on marble and onyx boxes but lately an innovation has been the use of crushed gemstones in inlay work. Gemstone nuggets are manually crushed to get a range of textures. Crevices that have been carved are then filled with these crushed gems. Commonly used stones are turquoise, malachite, coral among others. The textures too range from beach sand - fine to coarse flakes and even chips of stone.

So there is nothing holding you back from getting yourself or a loved one a thing of beauty. Go right ahead and get yourself one to enhance your collection or that of a loved one.
