Most of us as children have been fascinated by a ballerina dancing in a music box. Whether a vintage wooden musical box that has survived as a heirloom, or a modern jewelry chest aimed at little girls, the ballet dancer figurine creates a spell as she revolves to the music.
If you are looking to share that magic with a new generation, or just need a jewellery box for a girl, these ballet-themed boxes and chests make a lovely gift idea.
A special occasion deserves a special gift that a young girl will treasure as she grows up.
This Lenox jewelry chest was designed to be the answer to little girls' wishes. It has a silver metal exterior that makes it look like the treasure box of a princess. The metal is embossed and decorated with a heart motif. Some buyers have had names engraved in the heart to create a personal keepsake.
Inside is a pretty pink compartment divided up into lots of little boxes to store her jewelry. The ballerina dances in front of an oval mirror and has a graceful pose with one arm overhead. She wears a pink tutu dress and shoes.
The tune played by this musical jewelry box is the classic 'Für Elise'.

| Lenox Childhood Memories Ballerina Jewelry Box Only $43.00 |
This pretty pink jewelry box was designed with little girls very much in mind (although not so little girls will find it a lovely trip down memory lane).
It has 4 little drawers perfect for storing child-sized jewelry and other trinkets and treasures.
As you can see, this musical box is pink, pink, pink! There are dancing ballerinas on the front in long skirts, and another ballerina in a fairy outfit painted in the rose-framed oval on the lid.
Best of all, though, when you lift the lid, a ballerina with a pink tutu and a bun hairstyle revolves to the music of Swan Lake. The lid has a mirror on the inside and reveals an additional jewelry compartment.

The surprise in this sweet jewellery chest is the pretty little fairy ballerina who dances as the music plays. Like the previous musical jewelry box, this one also plays the classic Swan Lake theme, but offers a different style of box.
This one is shaped like a treasure chest and even has a key to open it. The ornate oval mirror inside the lid gives it a precious look.
The finish on the box is silvery and iridescent. It is decorated with delicate paintings of butterflies and flowers.
Perfect for little girls who love fairies as much as they love ballerinas!

If you want a change from pink, this fairy ballerina musical jewelry box is a lovely alternative. It features a pretty soft green and white color theme, decorated with butterflies. It's called 'Butterfly Sleigh" because of the adorable lid illustration. The watercolor shows a little fairy riding a leaf 'sleigh' drawn by butterflies!
The little blue fairy inside the lid dances to 'Für Elise' in front of a circular mirror with decorative edge.
There is room for her jewelry and treasures in the two pull out drawers, and the area under the lid is divided into handy compartments for rings and other small items.

Capture the magic of a child's imagination in this delightful jewellery box. The enchanting theme is one of a bird chorus singing to a fairy child as she conducts them from a toadstool. These sweet illustrations are continued all around the box, with colorful birds and a border of butterflies.
There are several tiny drawers to discover in this jewelry chest.
The real treasure is the woodland fairy in her green dress who hides beneath the lid. The lovely detail includes flowers painted on her dress, and she perches on a spotted toadstool.
She twirls to the tune of 'Waltz of Flowers'.

My daughter has several of these ballerina music boxes because ever since she was a baby, she's been fascinated by them. She enjoys winding them up and just watching the ballerina dance to the music. They make a beautiful gift.
