Why are they called enamel pins?

Enamel pins are made of die-struck iron metal and are manufactured by heating to a high temperature and then polishing to create a smooth surface, giving them a high-quality, durable feel. Artists were soldering wire together to shape decorative filigree parts as early as 1800 B.C. Grecian artists started using powdered glass to fill in the gaps between wires in filigree designs 600 years later.

They then fired these inventions, resulting in enamel, a form of inlay. Enamel Pins are becoming more common than ever before; the trend began in the 1970s and has continued ever since. There are custom enamel pins as small as the size of a coin and those that are bolder and larger in size; the variety that you can find here is incredible.

When worn with some fabrics, some pins can leave noticeable holes. There are also pins with magnetic backings that leave no trace at all. Finally, any pin that pierces the material to be secured will create superficial holes. Enamel pins are costly because they require the creation of a mould in order to be produced. The mould is the same price if you make one pin or 1000 pins. 

And, since the mould is the most expensive component, the fewer pins you produce, the higher the cost of the pins. Enamel pins are a common trend among Millennials and people in their mid-30s that harkens back to ancient Egypt and battling soldiers. Ebola is referred to as “Misty” Cloisonné, Resin Cloisonné, or Hard Enamel by manufacturers. The best performing pin is the resin Ebola.

Brooches, pins, and fibulas can be classified as both functional and decorative items in the context of the dress. Historically, they have been characterised primarily as functional, as clasps and fasteners used to close garments on the body or to keep pieces of a garment together.

 There are currently no enamel pin factories in North America or the United Kingdom, which means that most custom pins are made in Asia or the Middle East (95 per cent of factories are in China), and you'll have to deal directly with a factory.
