The clasp works perfectly, and the only flaws are a few chips in the enamel, which some nail polish and a very tiny brush can remedy, without much ado. I love the heart-shaped head of the butterfly, which makes him look more like a praying mantis, but that's artistic license, for you! Great summer colors, and a fantastic way to dress up a summer hat, cocktail dress, or pool side cover-up. Can be casual or dressy. Either way , these Arthur Pepper creations can only go up in value. Normally, I would charge at least $45, for such a wonderful and large pin, but as there are  a few tiny enamel chips, I am selling for $39. 00 Enjoy! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere is some info on ART creations: \u003cbr\u003eArthur Pepper jewelry\u003cbr\u003eThe history of Mode-Art jewelry company founded by Arthur Pepper began in New York City in the late 1940s.
