There are three main consideration when planning to buy a large jewellery box. These is the size of the jewellery box, as well as considerations related to its appearance and how it complements the existing decor, and, of course, the price. One determines the size based on the the amount of jewellery the box needs to hold, not just in the near future, but in years to come. The question of the box's appearance and how it complements the existing furniture and soft furnishings in a room can be a challenging question to answer, as decor inevitably changes over time.

One solution is to chose a box with a timeless appearance. The lines should be classic and the colour neutral. Cost depends on the resources available, and on the priorities of the buyer.

A final consideration is where to buy the jewellery box. Fine, large jewellery boxes can prove to be expensive purchases. A high street store may have a small selection in stock, but it is unlikely to offer anything approximating all the different types and styles of jewellery boxes available. Even large department stores are unlikely to offer much variety. This is why many shoppers turn to eBay. The site has extensive listings for jewellery boxes that range from contemporary designs to sought-after antiques.
