Enamel Pin Quality Guide

Please keep in mind that all enamel pins at Honey Gokko are handmade items, filled and polished individually, so no pin can ever be 100% the same as another and some flaws can occur! 😊

Honey Gokko's pins are near-perfect (some can be perfect, of course), but please take note while buying!

Also, all my pins are carefully inspected before I mail them out 👌

 

✿ Grade A

Examples of minor imperfections that pins can contain:

    • Small light scratches, buff marks, scuffs on the metal/enamel
    • Small specks, pores, or bubbles anywhere on the pin
    • Slightly underfilled, overfilled or uneven areas
    • Minor metal discolorations
    • Larger metal scruffs on the back or the side (not the front) of the pin

 

✿ Grade B

Seconds pins have more noticeable flaws and are sold at a discount. Such flaws include:

    • Obvious overflowing enamel fills
    • Large smudges and/or staining
    • Completely unfilled areas
    • Heavy oxidization of the metal
    • Noticeable and deep scratches that span across the metal & enamel
    • Very low fills in larger or visually important areas
    • Bent pin needle on the back that causes the clutch to clasp only half-way

 

✿ Grade A - B

The flaws are in between Grade A and Grade B, but really, that's just me being perfectionist and maybe you won't even see the flaw 😂

 

 

Actual product colours may vary from colours shown on your monitor.

The same applies for the enamel keychains.

 

I hope this guide is helping you make a more informed purchase! Happy shopping on Honey Gokko! 💕
