The collection cleverly combines animal shapes with jewelry design, showcasing a bold and imaginative style. Craftsmanship and Materials: Heidi Daus animal necklaces utilize a full diamond setting technique, using high-quality imitation diamonds such as rhinestones and Swarovski crystals, paired with a metal base.
