Cloisonne Pin

These pins are die-struck from a copper bronze base. A die is designed to imprint a particular design onto the metal. The pin outline and any cut-outs are then cut using another mold. Colors are hand crafted with a glass-like powdered mixture. The colors are fired one at a time, at a temperature of 1,600 F for around two to four minutes. This two step process ensures that a bleeding of the colors is avoided. Next, the pins are individually polished by hand and plated with gold or silver. Lastly each pin is inspected to determine quality and is individually packaged.
