Enamel pins are gaining popularity among fashion lovers and collectors. These tiny, intricate pieces of art would make wonderful additions to any clothing or pin collection. When choosing enamel pins, there are two main types: hard enamel and soft enamel. Knowing the difference between the two can help you make an informed decision.
When to choose soft enamel?
Soft enamel is one of the most popular types of pins and has a raised and textured look and feel that many people love.
Enamel pins must be baked in an oven to harden and harden the enamel. Unlike hard enamel pins, the soft enamel metal plating process is done before the enamel is filled. This means that certain metal finishes can only be applied to soft enamel. Soft enamel is required if you want pins with iridescent plating, black paint, or another custom color.
When to Choose Hard Enamel?
Hard enamel pins are more durable and scratch resistant than soft enamel pins. Many people choose hard enamel over soft enamel for a clean, finished look. Many designs work on both hard and soft enamel, so it’s often a matter of personal preference. The hard enamel pins are filled with color first, then the surface of the pins is polished to a flat and smooth finish. Incompatible with some metal finishes due to grinding and polishing. If you want standard gold or silver plating, hard enamel may be a good choice for your design.
