HEIDI DAUS "TRANSFORMED" SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL & ENAMEL BEETLE / BUG PIN

Please read the story about this STUNNING pin & the possibility of an intricate transformation!!! There is no paperwork to support this, but in pics 13, 14 & and 15, you will see where I think this pin started, as the HEIDI DAUS TWO FINGER RING! It has been expertly modified into a pin, which is not uncommon, & now allows more versatility...put it on jackets, hats, etc or decorate your home with it. Pin it to a lampshade, pillow, or add it to some greenery!! Tried to research the history but hit a wall unfortunately!!!! I was told the front of the pin is identical to the ring, except for the removal of the small circle above the head. The rings were removed from the back, thus taking the signature with them! Whether you agree with the story or not, he is GORGEOUS, STUNNING, UNIQUE & makes a statement!!! The pin is covered with a bright yellow enamel encrusted with faceted, colored SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS all over the body, legs, antennae. NO MISSING STONES. Measures 3" long x 2" wide, colors of amethyst, ruby, emerald green, citrine & aurora borealis all sit atop the bug! Set into a bronze base metal. With a signature it would be well over $250/300, price reflects the modification & deleted signature. Wasn't sure I wanted to pass this one along!! I loved him as soon as I met him!! THANK YOU FOR VISITING OUR CLOSET! Comes from a smoke and pet free home.
