When it comes to jewelry armoires, most people imagine the classic design of a free standing, thin and vertical armoire. But there are also wall hanging jewelry armoires in addition to the stand alone design. Let’s take a closer look at these two types of armoires, contrasting how they are both a like and different.

Free Standing Jewelry Armoires

The free standing design is the most popular all the two designs for armoires. This is the design as it’s come down to use through the ages, as the armoire evolved from oversized wooden cabinet storage to various shapes and sizes, on down to the jewelry armoire. It came to be the classic look was that of a thin, vertical solid wood cabinet. The standard number of drawers is either 5 drawers of 7 drawers. Additionally, it came to be expected that the sides of a free standing armoire, as well as the top, would swing open to reveal either more jewelry storage capacity or a mirror for trying on jewelry.

Some of the most popular free standing armoires today come from a company named Powell, such as Powell’s black jewelry armoire, sold online but also through large department and furniture stores in most cities.

Mountable Jewelry Armoires

Wall mounting jewelry armoires are the second most popular design when it comes to jewelry armoires. The look strikingly different than their free standing cousins, as there obviously are no legs and the design has moved totally away from the classic and recognizable look of having 5 to 7 shelves. Instead, there’s usually a mirror adorning the the entire front side, which is attached to a swinging door. Inside you’ll find compartments for storing your jewelry collection.

Many mountable jewelry armoires have a locking feature. It’s common to find nice woods being used too. It’s you’re looking for oak or mahogany jewelry armoires, a wall mounting design is a good bet.

Moissanite is an incredibly rare mineral that many people would be forgiven for thinking is actually a diamond. Also known as silicon carbide or carborudum, this is an element that actually was first discovered from fallen meteorites. The size of the naturally occurring stones aren’t suitable for manking jewels, so the Moissanite engagement ring that you may have found is probably made from a stone that is actually grown in a lab.

Gold and silver are out and titanium is in when it comes to unique rings for women. Why? Because titanium rings can be plain white metal, solid black or colorful anodized styles that simply are not possible with other precious metals like sterling silver or even white gold.

Personal Style For Her

2010 is all about personal style, about being unique, about having something that not everyone has, and that is exactly what titanium offers contemporary women, the ability to custom design a piece of jewelry that’s affordable yet unique. It’s also a way for men to give their ladies a present that is not mass-produced. How? By going online and ordering unique rings for women out of titanium from places like The Titanium Workshop, Cascadia Designs or even Titanium Era. There a man can choose a ring style, a gemstone or colored accents in anodized titanium and give a gift that will be only for her. If Celtic is her style, add some knots or hearts or lacey motifs, if classic is more to her liking then choose a filigree designs or a classic diamond set in titanium. If she’s avant-garde, select rainbow or colored rigs with Chinese or Japanese characters. Have the rings etched or embossed, have them engraved with words of love, like a poesy ring, or have a simple inscription say what you long for her to know. Read more…
