From LoveToKnow Jewelry
Giving a gift of a crystal heart shaped jewelry box is a way of showing someone how special they are to you. Whether the occasion is Valentine's Day, a birthday, Mother’s Day or an anniversary, a crystal heart box is one that will be kept and cherished for many years to come.
The Meaning of Hearts and Crystal
Many of us, when we were young, drew pictures of hearts to give to those people in our lives that we cared about as tokens of our feelings. Now, as adults, giving a heart shaped gift is still a token of our feelings and love for those special people in our lives.
Throughout history, crystal has been the symbol of life and purity. Lead crystal, which symbolizes greatness, has always been considered a precious material. At one time its beauty and fiery sparkle was often reserved for the elite.
A crystal heart jewelry box combines the symbols of love, life, purity and greatness making it a gift that carries strong emotions and feelings.
A Crystal Heart Jewelry Box for a Special Someone
Mother’s Day is a wonderful opportunity to give your mother or grandmother a crystal jewelry box in the shape of a heart. It is a gift that is sure to touch her heart with tenderness, appreciation and love.
But giving a crystal heart jewelry box as a gift should not just be limited to Mother’s Day. It also makes a sentimental and memorable gift for any special lady on Valentine's Day, a birthday or anniversary. Daughters, granddaughters, wives and girlfriends all would enjoy receiving such a thoughtful and meaningful gift.
A Perfect Bridesmaids' Gift
When a future bride chooses the members of her bridal party, she chooses them with care and love. When it is time for her to give her bridesmaids a special gift as a remembrance of her wedding day and to show her appreciation for their friendship and love, a beautiful heart shaped crystal jewelry box is often the perfect gift choice.
The future bride can have each crystal jewelry box engraved with the name or initials of each member of a bridal party. To add a more personalized touch, she could even have a few special and unique words added to each crystal jewelry box to truly individualize this special gift for her bridesmaids and maid of honor.

Crystal heart jewelry boxes are usually small, and are meant to hold only a few pieces of jewelry. Most of them measure between 3"x3"x 1 ½" to 5"x4 1/4"x2" and are sometimes referred to as trinket boxes.
One way to tell a vintage crystal jewelry box from the newer ones, is by the weight. Vintage pieces tend to be heavier then the newer ones.
