In days past, jewelry boxes were for females, plain and simple. Who ever heard of a man having a jewelry box? Over the years, things changed and men have started wearing more jewelry. At first it was a watch and a wedding ring. Today men wear bracelets, necklaces and even earrings. With the change in jewelry style for men, the jewelry box industry had to accommodate this new trend.Today jewelry boxes are found in many masculine designs and leather jewelry boxes have proven the most popular amongst men. Simple wooden boxes are another choice that can work well for a man as long as there is no excessive decorations. Men tend to prefer engravings over other forms of decorating a jewelry box. Make sure there are a few compartments so that not everything gets thrown in a heap inside the box just to get tangled up.
