Long Awaited Dance

from a private collection

“Long Awaited Dance” is a custom made moving carousel music box. Created as an engagement gift for a client’s Fiance. It features a male & female seahorse couple that glimmer with deep gold, green & blue hues because their bone plates have been intricately coated with a mixture of peacock feather, resin, & 18k gold wax. Their glorious manes of long peacock sword feathers flow with the slightest breeze & their hearts of genuine white sapphire in 14k gold gleam brightly upon their delicate chests. With his pale blue topaz eyes the male seahorse stares ardently into the sparkling diamond eyes of the female seahorse. A passionate flame consisting of a large heart shaped fire opal surrounded by 17 quartz crystals has risen beside them. The carousel canopy has a golden knob and is adorned with 14 genuine white opals. When you turn the knob counter clockwise, the canopy begins to rotate to the musical tune “Embraceable You” and the seahorse couple can finally have their Long Awaited Dance.
