What is a hard enamel pin?

We offer a hard enamel pin called cloisonné. For example, in a hard enamel pin, each portion is filled with colored resin. After the resin fill, each color individually bakes at a high temperature to harden and cure the enamel. The final product has a hard and glossy finish with a nearly flat surface. Therefore, hard enamel pins have a smooth jewelry-grade surface. Furthermore, hard enamel is much more durable than soft enamel. The lustrous finish and heftier feel of hard enamel pins leave an impression of superior quality.

On which side do I wear my graphite awareness pin?

The best way to remember the correct side of your chest to wear an awareness pin is simply to follow your heart. Remember this statement in the most literal sense possible. Your lapel pin should, therefore, sit on the left side of your chest where your heart is located.

What does wearing an awareness pin mean?

Wearing awareness ribbons sends a subtle message that you are supporting a cause. For example, it might mean you are raising awareness for a particular social cause. Another reason to wear a pin is to support a medical or mental health cause. Further, people often wear an awareness ribbon because a loved one close to them is afflicted or they are personally connected to a certain cause. Again, the ribbon is typically worn on the left side of the chest or over the heart which is symbolic for a cause that is close to the heart.

Awareness ribbons also vary in size. We offer them with or without personalization. Our non-personalized awareness ribbon pins are available in a variety of colors. Each color depicts a specific cause or cancer.

Show your love, support and intention with hard enamel awareness ribbon pins. Give a pin to a loved one, wear a pin in their honor or memory, or support a cause that is close to your heart. If you are uncertain which color a cause represents, please check our Causes, Colors and Meanings Reference Guide.

Graphite Awareness Pins – Causes, Colors, Meanings and Months:

The primary cause associated with graphite awareness pins is Student Loan Debt.

Student Loan Debt
We have used the graphite color (graphite for lead pencils) to represent issues within education, especially student debt and the effect it has on college students. Pencils are made of graphite, a form of carbon, mixed with clay.

Statistics About Student Loan Debt:
Black students are more likely to take on student debt than white students, and they often take out larger amounts. Black students also tend to have debt for decades after graduating.

Black women have the highest level of student debt after graduating from college, compared to other women. Black women’s average student loan debt is $75,000.

BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) students often take on debt to access higher education.

Student debt can have a significant impact on communities of color. It can make it difficult for people of color to own homes and build wealth.

Student debt over a certain amount can harm post-college financial security and depress graduation rates.

Student debt causes may include:

Higher Education, Not Higher Education Debt

Homeless College Students

Student Loan Debt

Another primary cause associated with graphite awareness pins is Lead Poisoning.

Lead Poisoning
The goal of lead poisoning awareness weeks and month is to raise awareness about the health effects of lead exposure, and to encourage countries to phase out the use of lead in paint.

Awareness Months for Graphite Causes
Financial Aid Awareness Month – February
International Lead Poisoning Prevention Week – Third week in October
Lead Poisoning Awareness Month – October
National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week – October 20 – 26
