Pin Grading System
Enamel pins are beautiful, handmade items perfect for artists to create designs to be enjoyed by you at an affordable price! That being said, because they are handmade, sometimes the pin quality can vary.
The highest quality pin we stand behind! But, since they are handmade, they CAN have minor imperfections such as:
✦ Areas that have wrong or mismatched colors
✦ Noticeable dents and/or deep scratches
✦ Loose posts / backings
Rest assured pins are individually inspected before packaging and are inspected again before shipment. We always make sure you get the highest quality pin you paid for.
That being said, we have two tiers of grading!
