All of the enamel pins and charms are filled and polished by hand. As a result, slight flaws might occur during the production phase. I have personally checked through the products to ensure that each is categorized accordingly to the grading quality as described below.
Standard Grade Pins & Charms
Standard grade pins and charms have no major defects. Tiny imperfections are only visible upon close inspection.
Example of imperfections on Standard Grade Pins & Charms:
✧ Small specks of dust, bubbles or stray glitter on enamel
✧ Light buff marks or scratches on metal plating
✧ Very minor under or over fill on enamel
✧ Slight misalignment of screen printing
✧ Minor discolorations or unevenness of metal
Second Grade Pins & Charms
Second grade pins and charms have major noticeable defects and are sold at a discounted price.
Example of imperfections on Second Grade Pins:
✧ Noticeable marks on enamel
✧ Unfilled areas on certain parts of pin
✧ Deep buff marks, scratches on metal plating
✧ Noticeable misalignment of screen printing
✧ Might have missing enamel fills
Please be assured that I strive to provide the best quality even though no enamel charm will be 100% perfect due to the nature of the hand manufacturing process. I appreciate your understanding of the handcrafted process.
