Annaigee is a jewelry packaging supplier, has been in the industry since 2002 and has over 20 years of rich export experience.
We have extensive experience in working with wood.
When it comes to rational analysis, wood cannot be directly ranked.
For wooden jewelry boxes, we don't need to excessively pursue the wood's FAS grade (North American Hardwood Association standard).
The following explanation is about solid wood, not MDF like plywood (wood powder + glue), particle board (wood chips + glue), oriented strand board (large wood chips + glue), or laminated veneer lumber (thin wood veneers + glue).
First, let's introduce the characteristics of solid wood, which are comprehensive and can be grouped into five major dimensions:
1. Material characteristics (colour, pattern, texture, gloss, etc.)
2. Physical and mechanical properties (density, specific gravity, weight, shrinkage rate, fracture modulus, elastic mechanics, compressive strength, hardness, etc.)
3. Processing performance (sawing, planing, drilling, turning, carving, moulding, nailing, adhesive properties, surface treatment, etc.)
4. Durability (resistance to corrosion, including insect infestation)
5. Rarity, as rarity brings value
While some indicators can be quantified, such as price per cubic meter, other characteristics like colour, pattern, and texture cannot be quantified.
It isn't easy to comprehensively rank all wood characteristics together.
Next, let's introduce the classification and unit price of wood.
Type | Price (RMB) | Feature | |
![]() | Black Walnut | 10000-14500/m³ | High-quality wood is mainly produced in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. It has a dark brown colour, texture, and is often used for high-end furniture and cabinets. Walnut jewelry boxes are often regarded as treasures with excellent collectable value. When collecting valuable gold jewelry or other expensive ornaments, many people tend to choose them, especially for important gifts, as walnut jewelry boxes are more popular. This wood is also commonly used to make the heirloom jewelry box. Luxury Custom Walnut Wooden Jewelry Box For Ring Pendant - Annaigee |
![]() | Teak | 9000-12000/m³ | Also known as oilwood, purple teak, or rosewood. It is a famous precious wood species worldwide, but there are very few products made entirely of teak on the market. |
![]() | Cherry Wood | 8000-9000/m³ | A sturdy, finely textured, and glossy brown or red wood that can achieve a strong shine when made into items. Cherry wood jewelry boxes are very popular in Europe and North America. |
![]() | Oak | 5000-8000/m³ | Mainly produced in Europe and North America, divided into white oak and red oak. However, red oak is not necessarily red, and white oak is not necessarily white, so they cannot be distinguished by colour alone. Nowadays, many manufacturers use rubberwood instead of oak to pursue profitability. Did you know that the wood preferred for laying under railway tracks is oak? This shows its hardness and sturdiness. Drawer jewelry boxes are often made of Oak. |
![]() | Basswood | 6000-7900/m³ | Mainly used for American-style furniture. The bark and fruit have medical uses, and black-brown and blue dyes can be extracted from them |
![]() | Birch | 4900-5500/m³ | Also known as sawn timber, it is heavy, sturdy, and impact-resistant. It is easy to bend under steam, suitable for shaping, and has good nail-holding properties. It is mainly produced in Europe and North America but is prone to cracking, so it is generally not suitable for handmade wood jewelry boxes. |
![]() | Elm | 3000-6000/m³ | A common tree species in northern China, with beautiful patterns and a rugged structure. It has good processing, coating, and bonding properties. Fresh elm wood has poor drying properties and is prone to cracking and warping, while old elm wood is highly stable and has excellent resistance to decay. It is suitable for general consumption and is a cost-effective material. It is one of the main materials used in high-end jewelry storage boxes and has become increasingly popular in recent years.

![]() | Ipe Wood | 3300-3700/m³ | Slightly hard material with beautiful patterns, good resistance to decay and water, easy to process, good flexibility, good bonding and painting properties, and excellent decorative performance. However, the frequency of use of ipe wood in the industry is not very high, and it is considered a third-level protected plant in China. |
![]() | Cedar | 2000-3800/m³ | A sturdy, finely textured, and glossy brown or red wood that can achieve a strong shine. |
![]() | Rubberwood | 3500-3800/m³ | A species that can produce latex, with a short growth cycle, and can be used to manufacture cost-effective jewelry boxes. Although it has only one word of difference from oak, the grade of rubberwood is much lower. |
![]() | Pine | 1500-2300/m³ | Lightweight and soft material with elasticity and fine and uniform structure. It has a slight pine scent, a light yellow colour, and frequent knots. It has good drying properties, water and decay resistance, and good processing, finishing, and bonding properties. Pine is currently the most commonly used in wooden jewelry boxes. |
![]() | Camphor Wood | 1500-2000/m³ | With a fragrance, it is resistant to decay and insects. It is a slightly lightweight and deformation-resistant material, is easy to process, has a smooth cutting surface, and has a beautiful colour after painting. It is one of the main materials used for jewelry storage boxes. |
In summary, high-end materials do not always guarantee high aesthetic value and low-end materials do not necessarily have poor aesthetics.
Even by designing and processing wood that is often discarded, we also can achieve excellent results.
