My Grandpa used to make jewelry, and when I finally sorted through a bunch that he gave me, I realized I needed a new box. I also had a lot of necklaces and things that I wasn't even using because they were too cumbersome to pull out of my little jewelry box where they would get all tangled up.I looked online for a very long time and thought about it for over a week before choosing this box. I was not disappointed!I had 100 items that needed a home (yes, I counted them! :o) and although this box only has 75 compartments, you can easily double or triple-up, so I even have room for more if I occasionally buy something new.The biggest thing that made me hesitate on this box was that there is no way to really display rings, but that didn't turn out to be a problem for me. The compartments are shallow enough that if you have two or three rings in one of them, it's easy to view them and pull out a specific one. For those who are big on displaying rings, though, I checked, and the individual ring tray they sell would be too high to fit resting on top in any of the compartments in this box.Another reviewer I read somewhere was unhappy with the quality of the dividers, but I found that they are very sturdy, so I'm not sure what the problem was for the other person. I think you would really have to smash them hard to damage them.The box definitely has some heft to it, so in my opinion would be too big and heavy to travel with, but it looks great in its new home on my dresser.For anyone who has mostly earrings, rings, and small to medium-sized pendants like I do, this is the ideal box to store all of your things in one place. The compartments comfortably fit any pendant 1.5" or smaller.If you have lots of bracelets, large pendants, or necklace chains that aren't flexible, another box would work better, although the bottom drawer with the four larger compartments does fit a limited number of items like that.
