~Frequently Asked Questions~
Some of the questions we get regarding pins are listed below!
If there is a question you need answered that is not here, please do not hesitate to contact us with your questions!
~ What is an A / B / C Grade?
Pins are handmade so not every single one of them comes manufactured perfectly!
~ Our Grading Policy is as follows:
* A- GRADE: A- grades are flawed, but minorly so. This will include a single speck of screenprinting that is off, a swirl or a small amount of bubbles in a stained glass that would not be fit for an A grade, but not damaged or resulting in a B grade
* B GRADE: B grades are pins that have pin pricks, a heavy amount of swirls and bubbles in the stained glass, weird swirling in pearl effects, weird discoloration in enamel, or screen-printing that has smeared.
* C GRADE: C grades are pins that have a deep scratch or miscoloring over in enamel, these have super noticeable screenprinting issues and heavy heavy swirls and bubbles in special effects.
By purchasing the grade you purchase, you are agreeing that you acknowledged this grading system have chosen the grade of your choice by this system
*Shopowner is very nit picky and tries to grade as fair as possible. If there is an issue with the grade, please do feel free to let them know 💖
Why Black Nickel / Not Other Metals?
Why is that?:
As a long term collector myself, I have found over time certain metals start to tarnish if they care not stored and presented in a shadow box or polished frequently. I have found this to be more so common in gold and especially in Rose Gold metals ( My assumption is the oxidizing of the metal makes them tarnish faster! Haha )
