ELapelPinscom Releases a Look at Cloisonn Lapel Pins

According to E-LapelPins.com Cloisonn lapel pins are the most traditional, if not the most collectible of the lapel pin types. Most of the older lapel pins are either die-cast metal or cloisonn. Cloisonn is from the French word for cell, which refers to the method that cloisonn is created. A metal structure, or cell, is formed with the outline of the design and filled with enamel and then baked to permanently set the design. The cloisonn technique dates all the way back to 13th century B.C. in ancient Japan, however the Chinese really made the art form their own, creating beautiful vases and other artifacts. A cloisonn lapel pin is a modern interpretation of this ancient and beautiful art.



While the cloisonn process is very detailed, the cost of a high quality cloisonn lapel pin should not cost much more then a similar die-cast or photo etched lapel pin. Depending on the company, design, size and quantity purchased, a custom cloisonn lapel pin should cost around $2.00 per pin to manufacture. A cloisonn pin has a more "retro" look, and therefore may be more appealing to collectors than other types of lapel pins. Plus, with a cloisonn lapel pin you are carrying on an ancient artistic tradition.



Due to their more detailed manufacturing process, cloisonn also lends itself to a more dressy or jeweled style of lapel pin. Consider a cloisonn lapel pin if your design includes a stone setting, for example. E-LapelPins.com says that no matter what your use, cloisonn is an elegant, durable and affordable option for a custom lapel pin.
