Gem Pins: Creating Unique Gemstone Lapel Pins

Being able to customize lapel pins to fit your specific need is what has made these items so popular.  Most customers already know that using custom artwork, colors, text, and logos can enhance the appearance of their personalized items by increasing their visual appeal.  What they are not commonly familiar with is the choice of adding colored gemstones in addition to these items.  Not only are the small stones great for years of service and recognition award pins, they also can be used to signify different levels of achievement as well as birthdates.

Behind Gemstone Pins’ Sparkle and Shine

As a premier lapel pin maker, Lapel Pin Plus can customize lapel pins to include gemstones just as easily as we can with our other design options. The intricate process of setting gems in the lapel pin guarantees our customers do not have to worry about these items falling out or the pin losing its quality due to missing details.

All custom lapel pins start as cut-outs from larger sheets of metal. The lapel pin design is typically pressed into the metal cut-outs using a mold.  To apply gemstones, the mold has slightly recessed areas in the locations where the stones will be placed.  Once the mold is completed and the pin has been plated, the stones are mounted onto the lapel pin.

Not only can we add gemstones to a design, we can also suggest a couple more options that enhance the presentation of the lapel pin. To use gemstones in a way that works best with your lapel pin design we provide:

  • Custom Sizing: Gems can be done in a variety of sizes. Small stones can accent a lapel pin design while medium or large ones will make the pin stand out.
  • Colors and Patterns: Different colored gems can be used on the same design. This option also creates an opportunity to create pins that differentiate between accomplishments, thus making them award lapel pins.

How you decide to use gemstones in your personalized pin request will be completely up to you.  To ensure that you are happy with your order, we provide you with industry knowledge and experience in designing the perfect lapel pin for your event or occasion. Our number one goal is our customer’s 100% satisfaction.
