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 red 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.
