Photo
Etched Lapel Pins - an image of your design is transferred
from a photographic negative onto the surface of the metal.
Your design is then etched into the brass using an acid-reaction
process. All the acids and other impurities are carefully rinsed
off. The indentations are then filled with the enamel colors.
Colors are inserted by hand, one at a time, using different
sized syringes. The sheet of metal is then fired at 450¡ãF for
12 to 15 minutes. Pins are then cut out of the sheet according
to your custom design. Non-colored (raised) sections of the
pin are then plated to a shiny gold finish. An optional epoxy
protective coating (dome) can then be applied to protect the
color enamels from fading or cracking over time.
