Since the Ancient Egyptian and Roman times, jewellery has been a sign of wealth and status, with only certain members of society permitted to wear certain types of jewellery. During the 19th Century jewellery became more accessible to everyone, and it was during this time that silver jewellery boxes were widely produced to safely store pieces in style. Today jewellery boxes are essential items for the dressing table, with silver examples being the most desired, and there are designs and styles available to suit all tastes.
