Hard Enamel Pins

Imitation hard enamel or Cloisonné?

Cloisonne is an ancient technique for decorating metal objects with colored material separated by metal strips. Imitation hard enamel imitates this effect by infilling a lapel pin's crevices with an even surface of various colors.

What separates hard enamel from soft enamel lapel pins is the even surface: soft enamel feels sunken into the recessed areas of a lapel pin, while hard enamel is on a level with the metal parts of the pin. The entire lapel pin feels smooth, even and levelled.

Difference between real Cloisonné and hard enamel

While an actual Cloisonné is usually made by filling the recessed areas with molten glass, imitation hard enamel uses thick paste as the filler. This is mainly because of price: using glass as the fill is much more expensive. As most lapel pins are bought with a limited budget in mind, using a synthetic paste is a cost-effective way to achieve a similar result.
