Enamel Pins
All enamel pins are made by hand and individually filled and polished by workers, therefore some of them can have imperfections. The more defects a pin may show, the cheaper it will be.
-
A Grade A
These pins are almost perfect and I say almost because they are handmade and there is no such thing as a perfect pin, but they are the best of the batch.
- - Small scratches or scuffs on the metal or enamel, barely noticeable.
- - Minor imperfections in metal plating, barely noticeable.
- - Slightly noticeable specks/dot or darkened specks in glitter areas on pins with glitter, this is expected variation in glitter pins.
- - Faint/light and small dot or small smudge on enamel, barely noticeableThese pins come with little flaws.

speckles/pores on enamel

- - Intermediate and noticeable black dot, small smudge, or bubble on enamel

- - More noticeable underfill, overfill, or uneven fill of enamel
