Classement des pin's

Pin Grading Policy

All pins are handmade, and minor imperfections can occur during production or shipping. Every pin is carefully checked and graded before it is sent out. Please read this page before placing your order — if you are looking for absolutely perfect items, I kindly ask you to think it over before buying.


🐱 Grade A (Standard)

Pins in this grade show almost no visible flaws at a normal distance (about arm's length); you have to look closely to notice them. This may include:

- Craftsmanship: Small bubbles or slight unevenness in the enamel areas; small bubbles on stained glass or special-finish pins; very fine scratches visible only from certain angles or under certain lighting

- Metal: Light scratches or small bubbles that are unavoidable in the electroplating and polishing process; light scratches or slightly uneven plating on the back, which does not affect the front; light dark spots along the edges or outer areas of the pin

- Screen printing: Slight misalignment or slightly unclear lines due to manual printing

These are normal and unavoidable features of handmade metal pins.


🐱 Grade B (Visible flaws)

Pins in this grade have flaws that are visible at a normal distance, but the design is still complete and the overall look is not affected. This may include:

- Craftsmanship: Clearly visible bubbles in the colored areas; slight dents in the imitation enamel; slight color misplacement or small areas of missing color, without affecting the overall look of the pin

- Metal: Visible scratches on the metal surface; dark spots in more noticeable areas

- Screen printing: More noticeable misalignment in the printing


🐱 Grade C

Pins in this grade have major, visible flaws. They are generally not offered for sale.


Back Imperfections

Minor imperfections on the back of the pin are not considered defects and are not covered by my replacement or refund policy. That said, the back of every pin is checked and will not have any major flaws.
