Soft enamel pins are die struck out of iron, brass or copper metals. They are electroplated with a thin coating of gold, silver or coated with a dye color of your choosing. The raised and recessed aspects of soft enamel give them a unique 3D look and feel that many people like.
Soft enamel pins are usually made with recessed enamel. To make a soft enamel lapel pin, the recessed part of the lapel pin is coated with enamel paint and left to dry. Soft enamel lapel pins have a nonsmooth finish because the enamel stays lower than the rigid metal borders.
A soft enamel lapel pin has a more textured feel, the colors are more visible and vibrant. Soft enamel lapel pins are known to be a cheaper option and the best part of soft enamel is you can still achieve great detail.
A hard enamel lapel pin on the other hand is baked rather than air dried and then polished smooth. This approach leaves the thin lines separating the enamel colors on hard enamel lapel pins flush with one another. The colors on hard enamel pins can darken a little due to the heat applied, but the result is a jewelry quality look and feel that ensures durability.
