What Are Enamel Pins? The Ultimate Guide For Beginners

Enamel pins have become a popular and expressive form of wearable art, but if you're new to the world of pins, you might have a few questions.

But don’t worry! We've compiled a comprehensive FAQ guide to answer all your burning questions about enamel pins.

 

What Are Enamel Pins Made From?

Enamel pins are crafted from metal and coated with enamel, a glass-like material. The metal can be made of various materials, such as brass, copper, or iron. The enamel itself comes in two main types: hard enamel and soft enamel. Hard enamel pins have a smooth, polished surface, while soft enamel pins have a textured finish.

What Exactly Are Enamel Pins?

Enamel pins are small, decorative pins featuring unique designs. These designs are created through a meticulous process of molding and coloring. The result is a miniature piece of art that can be attached to clothing, bags, hats, and more.

 

Why Are They Called Enamel Pins?

The name "enamel pins" stems from the enamel coating applied to the metal. This enamel serves both a decorative and protective purpose, giving the pins their vibrant colors and a glossy finish. The use of enamel distinguishes these pins from other types of pins, such as those made solely from metal.
