I looked at several childrens jewelry boxes before settling on this one.  Most "decent" cardboard/pressboard boxes ran in the $15-$20 range. I am SO GLAD I decided to spring the extra few dollars and purchase this one.  This is something my daughter will want to hang on to forever, even after she outgrows it.  Those cardboard ones will end up at a yard sale for a buck.  The ballerina is in good working order, and the box itself is gorgeous, heavy, and durable and engravable.  This is a perfect size for a young girl in the 4-10 years old range. I feel so proud of myself for ordering this. Dang, I have great taste!!
