I absolutely love this pin!  It is not often that something I order on line exceeds my expectations, but this pin did just that.  Based on the picture, I thought the metal on this pin would be a dark grey/ black and that the stones would be all one color, which would have been fine.  To my surprise and delight, the metal is a copper color, and the stones in the tail are darker than the stones in body.  Really stunning!  I wore it for the first time yesterday, and received compliments from 3 of the 4 people who saw it.  If you are looking for something subtle and understated, this pin is not for you.  But if you want a fun piece that adds a bit of retro glam without being over the top, then this is the pin for you!
