Incredible! Photos cannot capture the stunning appeal of this Three Box Set of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh (Gifts of the Magi). Each set has real 23 karat gold and authentic frankincense and myrrh from the same regions as the gifts brought to baby Jesus on that very first Christmas by the three kings (Melchior, Balthasar and Caspar).

Each of the unique, brass appliqued wooden boxes are hand-made and lined with red satin to add a regal touch to this Gift of Kings.

The Three Kings Gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh in these gift chests bring the Gifts of the Magi to life!

Octagonal Gold Box
Gold was the gift given by Melchior, a king of Arabia, said to have been the oldest of the Three Kings. The octagonal Gold Box holds an American hand-blown glass ball filled with 23 karat gold flakes that float like snowflakes. The ball is specially made so that the multiple curved surfaces reflect and refract the gold. Gently shake the globe and the gold flakes will float like snowflakes. The gold box measures 4-3/4 x 3-3/4 inches and has a brass chain and latch.

Round Frankincense Box
Frankincense was the Gift given by Balthasar, a king from Saba (Southern Yemen). The round Frankincense Box is another of the Three Kings Gifts and is covered in hand-made brass angles. The base and lid are satin lined and the box measures 4-1/2 x 3-1/4 inches. Our frankincense comes from the very same region – Oman and Yemen – as the original gifts given by Balthasar. It is selected from the highest grade of frankincense in an effort to capture the spirit of the actual gifts given 2000 years ago on that first Christmas.

Frankincense is resin from the dried sap of the Boswellia tree – a tree that has grown on the craggy slopes of the Arabian Sea for thousands of years. In ancient times, Frankincense and Gold were equally valuable. Frankincense is harvested by making slits in the bark of the tree and letting the resin slowly bleed out and harden into white tears of Frankincense. (The primary use of Frankincense is the same today as it was in ancient times: it is very strong incense with a sweet aroma that is used today in religious services.)

Square Myrrh Box
Myrrh was the gift given by Caspar, a king from Tarsus (Southern Turkey). The square Myrrh Box is a satin-lined treasure trove (4-1/4 x 3-1/4 inches) with brass chain and latch, and holds the finest Arabian myrrh available.

At the time of Christ, the world's finest Myrrh came from Southern Arabia and it is generally thought that this was the origin of Caspar's gift. The Myrrh supplied with our Three Kings Gifts is the finest available from Southern Arabia.

Myrrh is resin from the Cammiphora tree and is harvested by cutting slits in the bark of the tree from which Myrrh resin hardens into dark red crystals. In ancient times, Myrrh was among the most valuable substances known and, at the time of the birth of Christ, it was worth seven times its weight in gold. It can be used as incense or it can be ground into a powder and mixed with oils to make a balm or processed into oil. (In ancient times, myrrh was used in the mummification of the Pharoahs in Ancient Egypt and to anoint kings.)
