This Phoenix Crown Music Box Puzzle is modeled after the legendary headpiece of Empress Xiaoduan, known for its lavish rubies, 4,000+ pearls, and impeccable Ming Dynasty craftsmanship. Every piece of this 3D puzzle is infused with elegance and symbolism—from nine golden dragons to phoenixes with floating hairpins, all set on a square base with auspicious Ruyi and sea wave motifs.

Once assembled, it’s more than a music box. The mechanism plays a beautifully tuned 8-tone melody, as dragons and phoenixes rotate gracefully and jeweled hairpins rise and fall in rhythmic motion.

With 302 precisely crafted components, the assembly process itself is a journey—rewarding, meditative, and deeply satisfying. Whether you're building it alone or gifting it to someone thoughtful, creative, or culturally curious, it speaks of intention and artistry.

This product is designed with the "Phoenix Crown of Empress Xiaoduan" collected by the National Museum of China as the element.

This crown is inlaid with 115 unprocessed natural rubies and 4414 pearls. The shape is solemn and the workmanship is exquisite. The craftsmanship used includes filigree, Tian-tsui, inlay, and threading.

This crown is solemn and exquisitely made. It not only demonstrates the luxury and wealth of the royal family, but also symbolizes power and majesty.

In ancient Chinese tradition, the dragon is the leader of scaled insects and the phoenix is the most respected of all birds. The auspicious flowers inlaid with jewels are concentrated together with the golden dragon and the green phoenix, thus achieving the unity of nobility and harmony.

This isn't an ordinary music box, it's a precision-engineered auditory delight. It houses a high-quality movement mechanism that plays a crystal-clear melody.

The eight-tone system, carefully tuned to perfection, produces a rich and harmonious soundscape. From soft, lilting notes that soothe the soul to more resonant tones that fill the room, the music has the power to transport you to a bygone era of elegance.

The dragon and the phoenix rotate in both directions, and the three pairs of hairpins float up and down.

The nine soaring golden dragons and nine emerald phoenixes surrounding the hat tire form nine dragons and nine phoenixes, which symbolize nobility and good luck. The dragon and the phoenix both hold beads in their mouths, which complement each other beautifully.

There is a jade ring at the bottom of the crown eaves, inlaid with precious stones, pearls and flowers. The overall shape is complex and exquisite.

The three pairs of temples on the back are flapping up and down like wings, and the beads decorated with them are shining and dazzling.

The square base is printed with Ruyi and sea tide patterns. Four golden phoenixes hold up the phoenix crown, implying peace and prosperity in the world.

Assembly is part of the charm. With 302 pieces, it offers an engaging DIY experience that takes around 4 - 6 hours. It's the perfect activity to bond over or a chance for personal creative expression.

This ornament is not just a decoration; it's a token of love. Whether it's for a girlfriend on Valentine's Day or a wife on an anniversary, it shows your thoughtfulness. Give her this unique gift and watch her eyes light up with delight.
