Conceptualizing

Jewelry box design ideas:
-Design for the top, maybe just a simple diamond outline
-Beveled edges for side panels
-Some kind of quote for the front or top panel?
-Styles of box from examples like this:

Conceptual Thoughts:
-Jewelry boxes function as containers for valued possessions
-Their sizes afford for human personal use
-Lids/locks allow for secret and safe keeping
-Jewels represent objects of consumption
-Jewelry boxes are typically for women with an expensive assortment of jewelry
-The idea of having one's own diamond mine for personal use is a statement of excess and greediness, especially with an oversized jewelry box, which implies that a normal sized one would be too small to fit all of a person's jewels.
