You are beyond such simple gifts, but what if you could give a young lady the gift of music and glamor that would last for years? You can, by giving suitable recipients musical jewelry boxes with amethyst necklaces inside. The jewelry box can be used for years, and the necklace is suitable not only for the young lady, but for the grown up woman. Choose well and she can wear the necklace her entire life.

The jewelry box can be one of the ballerina musical jewelry boxes or any of the musical jewelry boxes for girls. The music may well be something you do not recognize, unless you have someone of a similar age in your household. The outside may be plain white or wood, or there may be a cartoon character or popular child star on it. The music will remind the owner of you every time she hears it once you give her the jewelry box that plays it. This can either be a blessing, or a nightmare, depending on how the child matures.

The necklace can be either a gold amethyst necklace or a sterling amethyst necklace, depending the young ladies preference in metal colors, or as you think is best. A silver amethyst necklace is easier to find, but you should be able to find one in gold, or have one made. If it is especially made for her, the young lady should be even more pleased and remember you every time she wears the necklace.

With the jewelry amethyst necklace and jewelry music box, your gift should be one the recipient remembers for a long time. The amethyst necklace will be one she can wear the rest of her life, requiring only a longer chain as she grows older. The musical jewelry box may become a hidden repository of the treasures of childhood when the necklace moves to a more grown up jewelry box, but it will probably remain in her possession the rest of her life as well, unless she has a little girl of her own.

A Musical Jewelry Box for my Niece

When I was a little girl I always dreamed of becoming a ballerina. The elaborate dresses and the elegance and finesse with which they danced always appealed to the girly girl inside of me. I often talked about how I wanted to be a ballerina when I grew up. Knowing how much I wanted to become a ballerina my mother gave me a timeless gift when I was 5, that of a musical jewelry box. Like most other musical jewelry boxes that you can imagine, this one was pink and pretty, small, made of wood and had flowers and the word princess painted on the outside. When you opened it up a ballerina popped up and began twirling to the music. I used to sit for hours arranging and rearranging my (fake) jewelry. I thought that I was so grown up and was trying to be just like my mother. As a child, this was one of my most cherished items and is something that I remember fondly to this day.

Recently I was looking for a similar jewelry box for my niece as a gift. As I looked around I realized that musical jewelry boxes had come a long way and changed in many aspects. You can still find the traditional pink musical jewelry box with the ballerina that pops up; however, there were a lot of other choice also. Like many things, wood has given way to mostly plastic. Since my nice tends to be a little ruffian, this may not be a bad thing. If you are willing to spend a little more, you can still find plenty of wooden boxes to choose from. However, what surprised me were the choices available. In addition to ballerinas I found boxes that only played music, some that had angels instead of ballerinas and others that had whole carousel or ballroom dancing scenes.  There were jewelry boxes that played rock music, holiday music, single songs, and multiple songs as well as custom jewelry boxes where I could choose the songs that were included.

In the end, I decided to go with the traditional choice and get her a music box with a ballerina dancing to Swan Lake. Since I wanted her to enjoy this gift for years to come, I decided on a wooden box. The inside of the box was nicely appointed with a pink suede lining. The outside was also pink with painted red hearts and much like my childhood box had the word “princess” adorned across the front. Hopefully, my niece will enjoy her new musical jewelry box as much as I enjoyed mine.
