Introducing the Frozen Moments custom enamel pin series — a visually layered collection that captures emotion, elegance, and advanced enamel artistry. Designed to tell a story through composition and materials, this set blends hard enamel coloring with UV-printed backdrops and silver-plated metalwork, making it a standout for collectors and storytellers alike.
This set includes three unique top-layer designs, all sharing a consistent, intricately crafted base plate:
- Set A (25 pcs) features a frozen palace scene, vividly rendered with UV gradient printing.
- Set B (10 pcs) presents a heartwarming embrace in pink and blue tones.
- Set C (10 pcs) offers a serene composition with soft green and ivory elements.
Each pin measures 3.5 inches tall, with the top layer sized at 75.5mm, secured by dual rubber clutches and finished with a silver plating. Every pin is a multi-layered build combining die-cast precision, hard enamel detailing, and UV printed backgrounds for dimensional impact.
Refined Multi-Layer Pin Construction
What sets this project apart is the seamless integration of two physical layers. The shared base features raised silver metal lines and precision color filling, while the top layers — each with a unique silhouette — are perfectly aligned to sit above the base like transparent narrative overlays.
To preserve structural integrity and visual clarity, all top layers were designed with precision die-cutting and enamel smoothing. Each element was tested for alignment, ensuring no visual gaps or misplacement between the foreground and background.
UV Printing and Color Matching Excellence
The back layer showcases a palace scene, printed with UV gradient technology that produces smooth tonal transitions and photo-like definition. Color matching followed strict Pantone standards, including tones such as Cool Gray 4, PMS 422, and PMS 7531, allowing the printed image to appear vivid but refined.
The top character layers were finished with hard enamel fill in spot colors, complemented by silkscreen detailing to retain line clarity. This dual-technique approach ensures that both printed and enameled sections look polished and vibrant.
Material Choices and Finishing Steps
Each pin is crafted from a zinc alloy base with the following steps:
- Die-casting and mold shaping
- Electroplating in silver for a premium finish
- Color filling using baked enamel processes
- UV and screen printing for enhanced visuals
- Hand polishing and final inspection
- Two-point rubber clutch backing for secure wear
Notably, the enamel on the top layer was applied to sit flush with the metal surface, producing a smooth, glass-like feel that is both durable and collector-friendly.
