FAQs
What are the dimensions of the jewellery box?

Does this require batteries?
No, this musical jewellery box is fully mechanical and operates via a manual wind-up key.
Can I remove the drawers?
The drawers are designed to slide in and out of the main frame for easy access but are not intended to be fully detached for storage.
Is the interior lining safe for gold and silver?
Yes, the soft flock fabric is designed to be gentle on precious metals and helps protect against minor scratches.
Is the mirror glass or acrylic?

How many items can it hold?
It is sized for a small collection of trinkets, rings, and small necklaces, perfect for a young user's starter jewellery set.
Troubleshooting
The ballerina does not spin when the lid is opened.
Ensure the lid is fully open. If it still fails to move, check if the spring is wound sufficiently and ensure no jewellery items are physically blocking the ballerina figure.
The music sounds sluggish or distorted.
This typically happens if the spring is over-wound or under-wound. Wind the key slowly and stop as soon as you feel initial resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is simple: remove the box from the packaging and ensure the protective film on the mirror is peeled off. To maintain the longevity of the musical movement, avoid dropping the box or applying excessive pressure to the lid. Keep the unit away from high-moisture environments like bathrooms to prevent damage to the cardboard construction or the delicate musical pins. If dust accumulates in the velvet lining, use a soft, dry lint roller or a compressed air canister to gently clean the compartments without damaging the fabric.
