Metal gifts

Soft enamel:

For the refined look of Hard Enamel at a slightly lower cost, choose Embossed Soft Enamel. These pins use the same thickness of metal as our Hard Enamel pins, but have a three dimensional look. The colored enamel areas are recessed and the metal areas are slightly raised. Combine this process with fine grain sandblasting to create a truly unique design.

Hard enamel:

There is no substitute for the classic look of Hard-Fired Enamel, an ancient Chinese process developed over 6,000 years ago. Each design is stamped into brass and the recessed areas are filled with enamel which is then fired at a very high temperature. This produces a jewelry quality pin with a high level of detail and color. Each pin is highly polished to a brilliant luster and smoothness.

Die struck:

For the sophisticated image of an all-metal pin, the Die Struck process offers sharp detail, contrast and relief. Instead of using color, the raised areas are highly polished and the recessed areas have a textured, matte or antiqued finish below the polished metal. This creates a clean, understated, elegant look.
