7.Velet Boxes
Velet boxes are designed especially for men. They are often covered in dark leather to give them a more rugged, manly appearance. Valet boxes are designed to hold rings, wallets, watches, and even loose change.

8.Ring Boxes
Ring boxes range in size. Some are small enough to hold a single ring while others are sized with rows of slots to hold up to 20 rings. They are typically lined with velvet and offer small slits for the rings. In addition to protecting the rings, the velvet also polishes each ring as it is removed from the box.

9.Watch Boxes
Watch boxes come in leather and wood. Often the interiors are lined with soft fabric such as satin or silk. Designed to protect watches from cracks and scratches, watch boxes often have glass tops so the watches can be on display while safely stored.

10.Jewelry Roll
A jewelry roll is a long fabric pouch that lies flat when open. It contains a number of pockets to hold jewelry. The pouch is then rolled up into a tight cylinder and tied to keep the jewelry secure. Jewelry rolls are often a great way to pack jewelry when traveling. They can also be used to store smaller jewelry collections.
