Traditional lapel pins (cloisonne, soft enamel) are painted by hand, one color at a time!
After your custom design is struck into a copper blank and plated, cloisonne & soft enamel pins receive color by syringe or very fine brushing techniques each individual color, one by one. This method is age-old and it’s very time consuming.
This process of manually coloring the lapel pins leads to truly hand-crafted quality and appearance. Essentially, each lapel pin is an individual miniature work of art.
Most of the time, only a single person is responsible for each color, and your pins are sequentially passed down our coloring line, receiving the same treatment.
