The BOOK... of VENDOR BOXES

[Acinom]

@scoutfinch has received a stunning set by Caysie. Her set arrived in a beautiful wooden duo-box.

My recent CVB piece came in a beautiful little plum velvet box. We didn't discuss color but the one she chose compliments the rose bezel and shank perfectly, I think. It would be extra special if she had some branding on it, but that's just my 2 cents.

And my favorite box of all is a velvet little golden star. Not a vendor box, I found it on etsy. I'm happy to keep both of these on display

Thank you so much for sharing your soft boxes. They look like candy. Your CvB box indeed complements your gorgeous ring so nicely.

@Emeraldsaremyfavorite ‘s stunning step cut ring has arrived!!! What a beauty. I so love this style: a very royal look.
It came in a beautiful box by Mark Broumand in chique understated colours and very tasteful branding

Umm - I chuck 'em out or donate them....

Even the Tiffany ones.

And I truly hate wooden boxes cos they remind me so much of coffins.

Everything I have made and collect from the jeweller, I make him put them in the little plastic baggies unless they are a gift then I select a nice box.

I am a very, very bad Pricescoper!

@BlingObsession : maximum bling and a minimum of boxes. Not such a bad choice

So just arrived back to nyc yesterday afternoon and received my impulse Wolf purchases. Probably not going to get much use but it’s pretty. I plan on using the slots for earrings when we travel back and forth from the shore to city. If I had been planning on using it for rings I would have been disappointed as the slots are too shallow and the rings hit the mirror as other posters have noted. Quick pics as I just opened the mail deliveries from when we were away. Here you go.




The boxes are in nice shape but the photo has some weird reflection thing happening making it look damaged. It’s not.

Thank you for sharing your luxurious vendor boxes @LLJsmom !

And wow, that VCA box is definitely not a box...
It’s an experience. And I looove the chalcedony content

I think you put it very succinctly @Acinom. VCA wants people to have the experience. I have never ordered on-line but people who have get an even bigger box that holds all these other boxes. I want to try it soon.

With such a stunning ring you would almost forget the beautiful box...

Hmmm I cannot seem to find a thread on her lovely ring. Shout out to @rahulus please pretty please start a thread on your delicious blue beauty.

@missy @Acinom
Thanks for the kind words!! I bought this engagement ring for my fiancée (as of two weeks!) and am extremely happy with how it turned out. I don't have a separate thread for it, but I posted some photos in torontocatlady's thread here: https://www.pricescope.com/communit...-3ct-blue-sapphire.241304/page-3#post-4431921

It's a 3.07ct heated radiant from Madagascar, dimensions 8.76 x 6.51 x 5.56mm. Carol Klein were incredible throughout the process and I cannot recommend them enough. I worked with Jon who patiently showed me dozens of stones until we settled on this one after a few months. I saw a number that were very similar to this colour, unfortunately most were cushions and we were set on a radiant.

From the looks of things @torontocatlady's ring is going to be stunning also!

Beautiful boxes! How do you evaluate them after a short while of use? And will you share a pic after you have filled them completely? That would be luscious

The large one is sitting empty right now and I am not sure I will be using it soon. The smaller one has a few pairs of earrings in it and is in my safe. I might make more use of that one for going back and forth to the shore house though generally I just take what I wear with me bling wise when we go to the beach house. They were total impulse buys and I do not anticipate using the bigger one soon but I will keep you updated if/when I do. I might also give it to my sister or nieces but then I will have to buy a few more so all my nieces get one.


I came across this photo from a number of years ago. This might be the original Cartier box the black opal came in or it might be a newer one they gave me when they resized the ring for me because they did give me a new box. Not sure what I did with the old one if this is the new one but if it is the newer one it is still at least a good number of years old as I resized the ring years ago.

My Lang box. Almost everyone got into the act with opening this one haha.

My box from Karen Wickman when I got my delicious ruby necklace and earrings (gift from her).





Wearing the necklace. I do not generally wear the earrings she gave me as they are super long but they are so pretty.

 

[missy]

And last pic for now. The box that my vintage dangles from GildedLane came in...of course Tommy had to investigate before I got to look at them out of the box.

 

[Acinom]

@missy thank you for sharing your luxurious vendor boxes!! They highlight your fantastic jewelry pieces.

What a joy to open those boxes with your nosy cats

It has long been a secret and mystery what Yvonne Raley ‘s jewelry boxes look like. They look beautiful! Love the ribbon on the ring box.
Hopefully @leslie1956 will show us the interior of the boxes as well

Quick photos of my Leibish box and a box I just received with my vintage skinny french cut band inside..very blurry photos sorry but running late and off to doctor's this morning but decided I wanted to take a pic for you girls. LOL really important to do right now but yes I am procrastinating going to the doctor. Not super excited about the appointment can you tell.





Haha I have video of my dh opening it just in case the band was missing since it was never tracked and took a while to arrive I just wanted to make sure I documented the opening in case it was missing. But whew it was safe and sound. Here are 2 still shots from the video I took when we arrived back in NY yesterday afternoon.

Missy!! That ruby necklace is gorgeous! It's only recently that I pay attention to rubies and yours are super. The picture with you wearing them is icing on the cake. I love how you put the clasp in a visible position - so stylish! (I'm a dork with no style at all)
The earrings are stunning also, but I see how they might be a bit long. Looks like they would brush your shoulders.
Oh, and the boxes are pretty as well...
What kind of people are we? I just spent 20 minutes carefully studying pictures of jewel boxes! Life without Pricescope and fellow crazies would be terribly boring

I didn't even realize there was a topic for vendor boxes, Acinom I'll post a picture of the interiors once I figure out a flattering way of doing it. Fun fact: my two main jewelry boxes came from a Good Will store here in Salem, OR. I think I paid a grand total of $5 for them! Best bargain ever

 

[missy]

Here are a couple more boxes I just took photos of for your thread @Acinom. I have not worn these watches since I broke my leg in 2014. I feel guilty for leaving these in the safe for all these years being unworn and unloved but I think I am just going through a phase (albeit long one) of not wanting to wear watches. Hopefully I will start wanting to wear them again soon.

My Cartier Tank. We bought this in Milan in 2004.





My Rolex also unworn and unloved in the safe. For now.




and while I am at it here's a photo of the necklace and box my dh gave to me our wedding day. I cannot remember the last time I wore it but it is super pretty with bright diamonds. Sparkly.
Sorry for all the kitty hair...haven't worn it in over a decade yet somehow cat hair is everywhere including the safe. I swear I vacuum a lot but with 4 kitties it's a fact of life.
