Musical Jewelry Boxes

The 1997 smash hit movie Titanic told the fictional love story of two people on board the Titanic. While the ship’s tragic fate was all too real, Rose and Jack never existed, and neither did Rose’s incredible necklace – the Heart of the Ocean: a blue diamond supposedly once owned by Louis XVI, cut into a heart shape after the French Revolution.
The actual necklace plays a prominently role in the story, and captivated the audience with its imaginative beauty. So much so, in fact, that jewelers Asprey & Garrard were commissioned to bring the stunning jewels to life. The real necklace is a platinum-set, 171-carat heart-shaped sapphire. It’s surrounded by 103 diamonds and valued at an impressive $20 million.
Celine Dion, the singer of the film’s famous ballad, “My Heart Will Go On,” wore it to the 1998 Academy Awards. Though the Heart of the Ocean necklace was inspired by a fictional tale, its popularity has put it among some of the most noteworthy and opulent jewels in recent memory. ChasingTreasure offers musical jewelry boxes that play “My Heart Will Go On” so you can be reminded of the romance every time you reach for your own favorites jewelry.

Children's Jewelry Boxes and Music Boxes

With the holidays approaching, gift giving is on everyone's mind and perhaps you are wondering what to get that special little girl or boy on your gift list. We've written a short article to give you an idea what to look for when shopping for children's jewelry boxes and music boxes.

Children's Jewelry Boxes and Music Boxes: Keepsake Gifts for Little Boys and Girls.

If you are searching for a keepsake gift for a young boy or girl you should consider a children’s jewelry or music box. Children’s jewelry boxes and music boxes come in a variety of sizes, finishes and themes. The variety that is available makes finding the perfect one for a girl or boy on your list a bit of a challenge, so let’s take a look at what is available.

Girls’ jewelry boxes are usually made of wood, either with pink lining or with a cherry or mahogany finish. Young girls love jewelry and appreciate having a special place to keep it. When choosing a jewelry box you should consider the age of the girl and then select the proper style. For example, musical jewelry boxes with dancing ballerinas for fairy figurines are popular with little girls. Favorite music box songs include Swan Lake Ballet, Waltz of the Flowers and Nutcracker Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.

If the girl on your list is a bit older then consider getting a wood jewelry box with a cherry or mahogany finish. The foremost manufacturer of girls’ ballerina jewelry boxes is Mele, and they have been making them since 1912. The Mele collection of ballerina jewelry boxes includes styles crafted in wood and hand painted. There are also others that are made of wood with a laminated laser paper overlay that is easy to maintain, while providing hours of play.

Girls who love necklaces will appreciate a box with a necklace carousel or necklace hooks. Mele, for example, offers a Ballerina Jewelry Music Box which is basically a girl’s wood musical jewelry armoire. The box features a necklace carousel as well as a ballerina who dances to Waltz of the Flowers. This is a very popular style and sells out quickly so if you are making a holiday purchase then it is wise to shop early for it.

If the young lady on your list loves earrings then look for a jewelry box with lots of little compartments. For girls with lots of jewelry and dress up accessories then consider getting a floor standing jewelry armoire. A Queen Anne Whitewash wood jewelry armoire is a good example of a large floor standing girl’s jewelry box.

Reed and Barton is one of the foremost manufacturers of jewelry boxes and they offer a line of first jewelry boxes for girls who need something that is a bit more “grown up” . Reed and Barton children's jewelry boxes are crafted with the same care and precision as their jewelry boxes for women.

Another well known manufacturer is Enchantmints and they offer a wide range of beautifully decorated musical boxes and toys. These music boxes, treasure boxes and toys can capture a child’s imagination while encouraging hours of play, essential for developing creative thinking, emotional intelligence, and social skills. Enchantmints boxes are crafted of wood with a laminated laser paper overlay featuring beautiful illustrations and you can choose one that reflects the child’s interests such as ballerina, horse, fairy, princess, baseball, sea creatures or safari.

Wind up music boxes require a child to be old enough to understand not to over-wind the box. Some musical boxes contain small parts and are not suitable for children under three.

A children's jewelry box is a gift that will provide delightful entertainment when it is received and will be treasured for years to come.

Wyken, Blynken & Nod Nursery Rhyme: A Dutch Lullaby

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe,--

Sailed on a river of crystal light
Into a sea of dew.

"Where are you going, and what do you wish?"
The old moon asked the three.

"We have come to fish for the herring fish
That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we!"
Said Wynken,
Blynken,
and Nod.

The old moon laughed and sang a song,
As they rocked in the wooden shoe;

And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruffled the waves of dew.

The little stars were the herring fish
That lived in the beautiful sea--

"Now cast your nets wherever you wish,--
Never afeared are we!"
So cried the stars to the fishermen three,
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.

All night long their nets they threw
To the stars in the twinkling foam,--

Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe,
Bringing the fishermen home:

'Twas all so pretty a sail, it seemed
As if it could not be;

And some folk thought 'twas a dream they'd dreamed
Of sailing that beautiful sea;
But I shall name you the fishermen three:
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.

Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,
And Nod is a little head,

And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is a wee one's trundle-bed;

So shut your eyes while Mother sings
Of wonderful sights that be,

And you shall see the beautiful things
As you rock in the misty sea
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three:--
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.

-- Eugene Field

Open the music box and listen to the favorite music box tune Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star:

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

This adorable music box is sure to delight the young and young at heart!
