The technique of Cloisonné pins was developed over 6,000 years ago in ancient China. First, each pin is pressed or stamped into the metal. The recessed areas are then filled with a glass enamel paste and fired in a kiln at ultra high temperatures. This creates an exquisite jewelry-like pin with great detail and color. There is no substitute or Cloisonne pins when the very best is required.
Pin Information
- Cloisonne lapel pins are Copper stamped with Cloisonné / Hard Enamel.
- The cloisonne pins are 1.2mm in thickness. That's about the thickness of a dime.
- The available finishings on the Cloisonne pins are: Gold, Antique Gold, Silver, Antique Silver, Nickel, Black Nickel, Antique Nickel, Copper, Antique Copper, Brass and Antique Brass.
- Cloisonne lapel pins are available with the following backing: Butterfly (military clasp), safety pin, tie-tack, screw back and magnetic.
- Bolder designs are recommended for your lapel pins in order to prevent any unsatisfactory coloring caused by lines and figures that are too thin or too small and will require an additional silk-screen printing process.
- General enamel coloring requires a surrounding metal space to ensure good quality painting results. Therefore it is usually necessary to allow for blank metal rim (0.3mm minimum). If you require full-piece coloring, a special printing process is necessary.
- The standard colors are based on the AOKI cloisonné color chart. For those who prefer pantone colors, semi-cloisonne can be used instead. However, this is not as exquisite but shinier and clearer in color.

Pin Options
Different options are available for your pins to make them even more unique. Various backings as well as additions to your pin will help to make your custom pin more memorable and desirable. These are additions that Everything Pins offers to help make your perfect lapel pin.
- Danglers are a second pin that hangs from the main pin. They take away from the idea of a static pin and add a little extra to the visual style. They range in price depending on size.
- Blinkers are LED lights that can be added to your pin for an extra appeal. Blinkers are an additional $1.00 per light and are available for any pin type.
- Sliders are a second pin that is attached to the main pin through a slot. This allows the second pin to slide back and forth in that slot to add action to the design of the pin. They range in price depending on size and type.
