Smithsonian Institution Exclusive
Description
Just like Clara in Tchaikovsky's beloved ballet The Nutcracker, this graceful ballerina twirls in an arabesque with her magical toy, soon to become a prince. Her billowing pink dress is embedded with rosewater pink opal crystals while her hair and the nutcracker are colored using shining enamel.
This jewelry item comes packaged in a white box (pictured).
