Jim Grahl and Barry Marfleet spent two years creating this music box, which features enamel, precious gems and metals. Press the ruby on top and the egg opens to reveal a carousel of exotic animals that revolve and move up and down to music, using mechanisms adopted from mid-19th century Swiss musical snuff boxes. It is comprised of 18K yellow, green and rose gold, platinum, silver, red and black enamel, ruby, mother of pearl, pearls and diamonds.
