Pin Design Details
Crafting Process
Once the art proofs for the two purple girl pins were approved, our team worked closely with the client to ensure every detail met their specifications. Here’s a breakdown of the steps involved:
- Design Finalization:
- The design, which showcased a beautifully detailed character with roses and floating hearts, was created using a vector graphics software, ensuring precision in every line and color. The colors were carefully selected to complement the character’s elegant appearance and create a cohesive overall effect. Our client wanted to capture a dreamy feeling while maintaining a sophisticated tone.
- Plating Selection:
- The client opted for gold metal plating, as it would perfectly complement the rich purple and rose-colored tones of the enamel. This decision ensured that the pin would have a premium appearance, highlighting the intricate details of the design.
- Pin Manufacturing Process:
- Hard Enamel Method: To achieve a sleek, smooth surface, we used the hard enamel technique for the purple girl pins. This method ensures that the enamel is perfectly filled in and baked to a hard finish, creating a shiny, flat surface. The process involves multiple steps of color filling and firing to create clean, precise lines.
- Wet Grinding: This step made the metal lines on the pin visible.
- Polishing: The process could remove blemishes on the purple girl pins and create a smooth surface.
- Gold Plating: After polishing, the purple girl pins were plated in gold to enhance the luxurious look. The metal edges of the design were plated with high-quality gold, ensuring a sophisticated finish.
- Printing: After Plating, the purple girl pins would be sent for printing.
- Quality Control
- Once the production was complete, the purple girl pins underwent a stringent quality control process. Each pin was carefully inspected for any flaws in the enamel or plating. The client requested a high standard of quality, ensuring the finished product would be both durable and visually striking.
