Musical Jewelry Boxes
Ballerina musical jewelry boxes have been a favorite of girls and women alike for many years, and the boxes themselves have often been a great stage prop for mystery movies as the camera zooms in to film the little figure as she twirls around to some lullaby or concerto. In the movies, the box is perhaps a reminder of a missing little girl that everyone is frantically trying to find, or a reminder to a grown woman of a childhood lost. These treasures have been passed down from one generation to another, delighting the little girls who receive them as an opportunity to be the newest custodians of memories and love in a long genealogy. Of course, it is not only ballerina musical jewelry boxes that have been bought for children and passed down, but also musical jewelry boxes devoid of any moving figures. These holders of personal treasures have no doubt put many young hearts to sleep at night as the music of lullabies and children's tunes wafted through the air from opened lids.
These wonderful personal treasures are as timeless a gift as could ever be given to a child. Of course, the appreciation of such a gift can only be fully embraced as time goes on. For a grandmother to be able to pass such an heirloom to a granddaughter is a priceless opportunity. For a mother to give her daughter the same treasure box that sat in her bedroom through the years is a chance in some small way to make time stand still for a few moments. This is the time when sons and grandsons must sit on the sidelines and watch a ritual they could never quite understand. Pollywogs and puppy dog tails are left for them to embrace.
If a reader of this blog has missed out on this generational ritual, now is a great time to dive into the world of ballerina musical jewelry boxes and musical jewelry boxes. Many online sites offer a wide range of these perfect gifts. A ballerina musical jewelry box that a mom and daughter can decorate together is under twenty dollars. Other inexpensive boxes with the little dancer are under thirty dollars, some including a clock on the front. Most have open up doors on the sides for necklaces and bracelets, pop up mirrors and a drawer or two for rings and charms, and several have the choice of choosing and African American ballerina figure as the centerpiece. Most of the ballerina musical jewelry boxes available online are quite low in price, and make perfect gifts for those young girls just beginning the joy of collecting and wearing jewelry. "I say unto you that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons that need no repentance." (Luke 15:7)
But if the desire is to pass on one of a host of musical jewelry boxes that are of real heritage value and quality, the range of choices are enormous as well as the prices. First, there are countless themes to these heirloom articles. One can purchase boxes for mom, mother, sister, daughter, aunt, granddaughter and one themed for friend or friendship. There are religious themed boxes, several shaped like black baby grand pianos, and there are fairy tale themed boxes with almost any childhood story imaginable. There are musical jewelry boxes with expensive wood inlays featuring beautiful landscapes scenes, sports scenes and romantic themes. Some of these boxes are made of porcelain and many with very sophisticated wood inlay and veneers. Musical jewelry boxes for teens or young women are extremely beautiful, some made with Italian craftsmanship and a number of selection options for the songs played when the lid is opened.
What would fill a child's ballerina musical jewelry box? Probably rings from the gum machine, or a charm bracelet from an aunt or mom. Maybe ticket stubs from the amusement park or a school play might litter its drawers. Maybe a picture of the little girl dressed up for a Christmas play or a seaside day with grandpa and grandma. But such a gift becomes a place of safety for treasured memories that can last a lifetime, even perhaps beyond the first car or the first kiss, because so many childhood memories are unspoiled from the adult way of handling life.
Finding ways to tell our family stories ought to be part of the heritage of each generation, as parents and grandparents seek to find ways to keep their sagas living on in future generations. Some people are able to pass down thriving businesses and fortunes to children and grandchildren, yet the sad fact remains that many who inherit such opportunities often squander them because of the lack of appreciation or understanding of the sacrifice needed to bring about such auspicious circumstances. Others are able to pass on a legacy of learning and a love of education that supersedes love of material possessions, while others are able to plant a seed in the next generation of spiritual value and dimension that instills a love of service and sacrifice over all other aspirations. While so many parents today are attempting to give their children all that they did not have, it just may be that all that children really need to be successful is to know that they are loved and are part of an ongoing play known as family. Could little things like passing along a musical jewelry box from generation to generation, filled with stories of days gone by be part of that play?
