Pin Grading Guide✿

Standard Grade

☾Standard pins are the highest quality I offer. Since they are handmade, they may have minor imperfections. Examples of expected Standard Grade imperfections:​

  • Small marks, scuffs, or scratches on metal/enamel

  • Small specks, pores, or bubbles anywhere on the pin

  • Darker flecks of glitter (on glitter pins)

  • Slightly misaligned screenprinting (on screenprinted pins)
