Information Regarding Ballerina Music Boxes

One of the most popular music box styles and one that has been in existence for many years, are the simple and elegant ballerina music boxes. Loved and cherished by young girls and women from all parts of the world, giving one of these lovely music boxes depicting a tiny ballerina pirouetting to the music as a gift, can instantly conjure up special memories of times past.

Ballerina Music Boxes for Girls

Ballerina Music Boxes come in a variety of styles. While the one of a twirling ballerina dancing to music atop a jewelry box is the one that first comes to mind, there are a bevy of styles for these beautiful pieces. Examples of the styles of ballerina music boxes include square, rectangle or heart shaped music boxes made of plastic or vinyl with a hinged lid. There are even carrying case styled ballerina music boxes. For any of these pieces, the music box itself will usually have multiple compartments for jewelry items along with a mirror on the underside of the lid or a pedestal. When opened, the ballerina will be standing in the center of the music box and in front of the mirror. When the music box is wound, the ballerina will then twirl in front of the mirror until the lid is placed down or carrying case doors are closed.

Ballerina Music Boxes for Women

Selections of ballerina music boxes for women come in a variety of styles and include hand-crafted wooden boxes using Rosewood, mahogany or other wood types and small music boxes with inlays depicting ballerinas. Both of these types can be used to hold trinkets or favorite pieces of jewelry. For a touch of elegance when selecting ballerina music boxes, Faberge style eggs that are hand made and mounted on a pedestal and open to display a ballerina inside dancing to a tune is a good gift choice.

Other Types of Ballerina Music Boxes

A simple style for the ballerina music boxes is the use of globes. Mounted inside the globe, the ballerina is in a free style ballet position. Other globe styles include those that rotate and have a blowing function that allows glitter pieces inside the globe to move around the poised ballerina. A music box styled as a pocketbook is also popular with the young crowd. Decorated with ballerinas in colorful tutus, when opened, the ballerina is dancing in front of a mirror. When closed, the music box looks like an actual purse with a strap attached.
