The Little Mermaid Icon - Nautilus Gold Shell

This elegant pin depicts the iconic nautilus shell worn as a necklace by the sea witch Ursula in Disney's animated classic, The Little Mermaid, released in 1989. The pin is rendered in a polished gold-tone metal, capturing the recognizable spiral silhouette of the shell that Ursula uses to house Ariel's stolen voice. As part of The Little Mermaid Icons Booster Set released in 2017, this piece serves as a subtle, sophisticated nod to one of Disney's most iconic villains. While categorized as an Open Edition pin, it remains a favorite among collectors who focus on villain-themed collections or thematic icon sets. The design is minimalist yet instantly recognizable to fans of the film, focusing on the magical artifact rather than the character herself. Because it originated from a multi-pin booster set sold at both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World, it is often sought after by traders looking to complete their icon series. The high-shine metallic finish provides a premium feel despite its status as an Open Edition release. Collectors value this pin for its versatility, as it fits perfectly into both general character collections and specific villain displays. It represents a memorable moment in the film where Ursula successfully tricks Ariel, making it a piece of storytelling in a small, wearable format.
