Era / Decade
Early 2000s to 2010s
Material
Hard enamel or soft enamel filling on a gold-tone base metal alloy with a rubber or butterfly clutch back.
Condition
Good. The gold-tone plating shows slight texture or wear in the recessed areas, and the red enamel heart background appears intact without major chips, though the image is slightly out of focus making fine surface scratches hard to detect.
Demand Level
Moderate. Disney pin trading remains a steady niche market, with 'Beauty and the Beast' being one of the most consistently sought-after princess franchises.

Description
This is an official Disney trading pin featuring the iconic ballroom dancing scene from Beauty and the Beast. Belle and the Beast are depicted as a gold-tone raised relief silhouette against a vibrant red enamel heart-shaped background. It measures approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in height and is a classic piece for Disney pin collectors.
Key Features
Features high brand recognition (Disney), beloved characters (Belle/Beast), and a classic romantic heart motif which makes it popular for Valentine's Day or wedding gifts.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic Disney pins will have a 'Disney' copyright stamp (©Disney) and often a 'Pin Trading' logo on the back. This specific textured gold-tone silhouette is a common official design. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Minor surface scratches (scuffs) on the enamel and potential 'pitting' or tarnishing on the gold-tone metal parts. Ensure the pin post on the back is straight and not loose.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for targeted searches), Mercari (active pin trading community), or specialized Disney Pin Trading Facebook groups.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Disney Pin Trading', 'Belle', 'Beast', 'Valentine', and 'Romance'. Photograph the back clearly to show the Disney trademark stamp, as collectors prioritize authenticity. Shipping is easy via a padded bubble mailer.
