Jewelry lovers and collectors take pride in selecting every piece they purchase. Often memories are made surrounding a special occasion like an engagement, birthday, or milestone that we cherish now and wish to share with future generations. Finding the right storage that magnifies their beauty can be just as much fun as the collection itself.
A Little Gerstner History
Small Gerstner jewelry chests were first introduced as an incentive. Most of our chests were used in industrial settings and cost the equivalent of a week’s salary. If you purchased a chest, you received a little jewelry chest as a gift to share.
Today and Beyond
Gerstner has evolved into luxury home furnishings and the request for handcrafted jewelry chests has exploded. We historically offer a couple of different models, and many use our larger chests for their collections.
Our Duchess Jewelry Chest is meticulously handcrafted to be a timeless piece and a spotlight piece in any room. Like a true treasure chest, it begs to be opened. It features a deep well for boxes in addition to 2 hand-fit drawers. See more about our handcrafted construction techniques here.
Our Coopers Legacy is a distinctive case that will remain a family heirloom piece for generations. The classic lines, artful hardware, and smooth fit drawers ensures it stands out in an office, living room, or bedroom. The size is perfect for pens, jewelry, watches, knives or other accessories.

Our Everyday Carry Chest was originally designed for the knife collector, but the versatile insert can protect and display watches, other pieces, or be removed completely. The large size in the top can organize all the items in your pockets at the end of the day. It features a lock for security and felt lining for protection. Rubber feet protect your furniture while the corner hardware adds a touch of elegance. See more images here.
Made in USA
We have been manufacturing in Dayton, OH since 1906 and remain a small family business. Most similar manufactures have chosen to import or close. We will always offer USA made Gerstner Chests and Cases because we believe in supporting makers as an American legacy. When you buy from small businesses, you support our entire community.
