How to Select the Best Lapel Pin

If you’ve never ordered lapel pins before, you might feel overwhelmed by the many different choices you have.

Basically, you need to decide on:

Size
Style
Plating
Backing
Finish

Combining these features according to your goal and use of the pins will determine the success of your project.

Gold and silver are the most common platings used in the manufacture of lapel pins. For elegance, prestige, and the look of fine jewelry, go with 24k gold. Sterling silver plating is also fashionable and widely used.

Shining golden bronze is a beautiful, affordable option. Copper, with its reddish hue, is often used for medals and medallions as well as lapel pins.

Black nickel works good with light colors and is recommended for defining drawn designs. It has a subtle black shine. White nickel has a shine reminiscent of sterling silver. Chrome gives off a soft, grayish light.

Brass can be brushed to bring out its highlights. Imitation rhodium has a platinum-like appearance.

The plating you choose will depend on the look you want as well as on the colors, style, design, and artwork.
