In olden days, women did not have many options to keep their valuable possessions.

These boxes were a medium to keep their important and treasured articles. From that time, ornament cases have gone through a lot of transition and today we have different types of them to suit all sorts of purposes. These cases can be made using various materials. However, wood seems to be the most useful one. It is more durable and lighter than many other materials. Hence, ornament containers are usually made of wood. There are several types used for this purpose.

The most common ones are cherry and maple. Some other expensive varieties are satinwood, mahogany, and rosewood. There are several forms of wooden ornament cases. It could be big with multiple drawers to fit several trinkets. Alternatively, it could be small to fit one single piece of jewelry.
