Storing jewellery is a small but real headache. Earrings disappear, necklaces knot themselves into oblivion, and rings drift out of place. A proper jewellery case fixes that, however, and these four picks from your favourite designer brands cover the full spectrum. They range from a pretty little box built for a few studs to a hard-sided trunk for an entire collection.
Left open on a vanity or shelf, a beautiful jewellery box serves as a display piece too, turning your most-worn pieces into a curated still life instead of a tangle in a drawer. Better still, some even double as travel cases, so the display moves with you.
01 - Louis Vuitton Boîte Bijoux, SGD16,600
Anchoring the lineup is Louis Vuitton’s Boîte Bijoux, built firmly in more-is-more territory. Cast as a hard-sided travel trunk in Monogram Canvas, it houses 13 compartments in varying sizes. A closure system pairs an S-lock with two trunk latches, for extra peace of mind.
Open it up, and the monogram exterior gives way to a candy-pink leather and velvet interior. A removable tray holds slots of various sizes for rings, earrings and pendants, while underneath, a deep, roomy base takes care of bulkier pieces. LOUIS VUITTON
02 - Rimowa Specialty Jewellery Case, SGD2590
Engineered in Germany, the simply named Speciality Jewellery Case belongs to Rimowa’s Specialities collection. It carries the label’s signature grooved aluminium shell, translating its travel-case design language into a piece specifically for storing jewellery.
Give the locks a gentle push to reveal a delicate interior. This features leather loops, a removable leather pouch for necklaces and other small pieces, and a dedicated ring compartment. At 20 cm by 12 cm, it also slots easily into a carry-on, ideal for anyone who packs jewellery on every trip. RIMOWA
03 - Saint Laurent Jewellery Box, SGD5910
The dark horse of the lineup, quite literally, Saint Laurent's Jewellery Box is also the most architectural. It trades canvas and pastels for a sleek black exterior, finished with gold-tone hardware. It’s a strong pick if your aesthetic leans minimalist and sleek.
Inside, it opens out completely flat, revealing a tightly gridded layout of felt-lined compartments sized for rings, studs and cufflinks. A second section handles chunkier jewellery and watches. It’s the most understated of the four in colour, yet its structured silhouette feels more serious than a pretty box. SAINT LAURENT
04 - Tiffany & Co. Facets Small Jewellery Box, SGD1700
The gentlest entry in the lineup, both in size and spirit, is the Tiffany Facets Small Jewellery Box. Its octagonal, gem-like silhouette in the brand’s signature Tiffany Blue leather pays homage to the brand’s New York City roots and its long history with diamonds and coloured gemstones.
Pop the lid open, and a mirror built into the underside makes for a quick check on the go. The rest of the interior is lined in soft microfibre, to cushion whatever’s tucked inside. Its petite proportions also make it compact enough to slip into a handbag without a second thought. The matching key-and-tassel detail is equally delightful. TIFFANY & CO.
