Lapel pins manufactured using the Cloisonne process offer a unique look because your design is not simply overlaid onto the lapel pin… it is imprinted into the metal base. This gives added dimension and creates the look of a quality piece of jewelry to your lapel pins.

Cloisonne lapel pins are die-struck from a copper/bronze surface because softer metals give a more detailed impression. A die is created to imprint your design into the metal. Next, the outline of the lapel pins and any cutouts are made with a separate mold.

To finish your Cloisonne lapel pins, colors are hand-filled with a powdered glass-like mixture. Each color is fired - one at a time - onto your lapel pins at 1,600 F for two to four minutes. This two-step process ensures that bleeding of colors does not occur on your lapel pins. It also helps colors on your lapel pins to last and keep their brilliant hue.
