Photo Etched: |

- Photo Etched lapel pin is unique in the fact that the image on the lapel pin is taken directly from your photo negative. The process is quite amazing! First, an design image is transferred from your photographic negative onto the surface of the metal. Your design is then etched into the brass lapel pin base using an acid-reaction process. All the acids and other impurities are carefully rinsed off. The indentations in the lapel pins are then filled with the enamel colors by hand, one at a time, using different sized syringes. The sheet of metal is then fired at 450F for 12 to 15 minutes in order to "bake" the color onto your lapel pins. The lapel pins are then cut out of the sheet according to your custom design. The raised sections on the lapel pins (those without color) are then plated to a shiny gold finish. An optional epoxy protective coating can then be applied to your lapel pins to protect the color enamels from fading or cracking over time if you wish.
