What Are Hard Enamel Masonic Lapel Pins?

Hard enamel lapel pins are die-struck metal pins where enamel is filled into recessed areas and then polished flat so that the enamel and metal are level. Key characteristics include:

• Smooth, flat surface
• Polished finish
• Enamel flush with the metal
• Clean, refined appearance

This process creates a pin with a jewelry-like quality and professional presentation.

Why Choose Hard Enamel Pins?

They are often used when quality and appearance are the priority.

• High-quality membership pins

They are best suited for pins that will be worn on formal attire or presented as significant awards.

Design Features

Hard enamel pins are designed to showcase clean lines and vibrant color. Typical elements include:

• Masonic symbols (Square and Compasses, pillars, working tools)
• Lodge name and number

Backing selection depends on the intended use and level of security needed.
