Locking pin-backs will prevent your precious pins from getting tugged off of bags, clothing, etc. and getting lost and making you sad!!
*Listing is for ONE pin back!*
Most of my pins have two posts, and will require two locking backs. The only pins with a single post are my filler-size (1" or smaller) pins. Make sure you purchase enough backs for your pin!
Works best on fabrics thinner than 2mm, since the pin-back needs to have enough of the post inside to catch and lock properly. To remove, hold the base of the pin-back firmly in place, while pulling up on the smaller metal circle to release the lock.

Pin Grading Information
Pin Grading Information
There is no such thing as a "perfect" pin since enamel pins are handmade, so all enamel pins will have some degree of imperfections present.
Grade is determined by the severity and number of imperfections. Standard (A) grade pins may have 1-2 small imperfections in non-major areas of the pin, which will be unnoticeable unless you're looking up-close. B grade pins will have imperfections that are more noticeable. C grade/Seconds pins will have large imperfections or outright damage.
Examples of common imperfections:
- Scratches in the plating, enamel, or screenprinting
- Specks such as dust or glitter caught in the surface of the pin
- Bubbles in enamel
- Underfilled or overfilled enamel sections
- Tarnish or oxidization on plating
- Scuffs/dirt marks
- Color variations
- Misaligned screenprinting
- Loose/wobbly posts
- Miscolored enamel
Examples of Seconds-grade imperfections:
- Posts broken off
- Missing enamel
- Deep gouges or chips

Preorder Policy
Preorder Policy
If you ordered a pre-order item (either by itself, or combined with in-stock items) and your parcel does not ship or arrive for a long time, the shop will not be able to entertain any request or claim for a refund, as every pre-order item description clearly states that pre-ordering requires waiting for the item to be manufactured before it becomes available for the shop to dispatch.
If there are in-stock and pre-order items in the same order, the parcel will only ship when the pre-order item(s) becomes available and ready for dispatch.
If you don't want to wait for your pre-order item(s) to become available to receive the rest of the items in your order, place a separate order for those.
