Pin Grading Chart
General:
Each enamel pin is handmade which means there's room for minor flaws during the production process. Because of this, some are sold at a discounted rate. Please read below for my grading standards ♥
Standard Grade:
Everything looks the way it should! May have very minor flaws if inspected extremely closely, such as:
- Slight lower-filled enamel or glitter
- Minor debris like excess glitter specks, dust, etc
- Small "bubbles" in the color or coating.
- Light scuffs or scratches.
- Imperfections on the the metal sides or backs.
- Minor imperfections in the colors
- Minor metal outline thickness differences
More noticeable flaws, such as:
- Movable posts on the backside
- Lesser-filled glitter or solid colors
