FAQ
How do you grade pins?
⭐️ Our quality grading policy is primarily for Enamel Pins. Our other products are not graded unless otherwise listed ⭐️
HANDMADE ITEMS can have slight flaws that naturally occur during production. Realistically no handmade item is perfect, so we sort our inventory to ensure that you are able to get the best quality available. Prices will be marked down for lower grades ♡

Low quality pins that do not pass our inspection will not be sold. We don't sell pins that are highly damaged, missing parts, or have horrible issues.
Standard Grade:
May have barely noticeable imperfections under close inspection. Standard grade is the best quality available in each design/batch. If there is a minor flaw that is across more than 20% of each batch, that will be considered part of the standard grade for that design/batch. No major flaws will be considered standard grade.
B Grade:
Noticeable minor flaws and very close to being a Standard grade.
C Grade:
Only available at our in person events! Visible minor and/or major flaws. Highly discounted and perfect for those on a budget!
Minor flaws:
• Stray glitter
• Wiggly posts
• Mis-filled enamel in a tiny area
• Low fill or spillover in small areas
• Tiny dents, specks of dust, scuffing, or scratches
• Minor discoloration only noticeable in certain angles
• Small areas of thickened metal lines
NOTE: Enamel pins with large areas of metal are more likely to have small scratches/scuffs, or water marks that naturally occur during the polishing process.
Major flaws:
• Missing enamel fill
• Mis-filled enamel in large or focal areas
• Low fill or spillover in large or focal areas
• Deep dents or large scratches
• Excessive bubbles or dust in enamel, glitter, or epoxy

Do you restock?
We prioritize creating new things, so restocks are never guaranteed and based on demand. Some designs might restock in new variants or as a completely different product type - ie: designs may return as a sticker, charm, etc.
[LIMITED] designs: Like the name says - these designs are [LIMITED]. Get them while you can because these items are the least likely to come back. [LIMITED] items will only be considered for restock if there is a high demand. Preorders will usually determine the initial stock and restock quantities. Please vote on our preorder interest posts to bring back sold out designs on our social media accounts!
It's possible there might be some C grades of some of our older [LIMITED] designs left! They are heavily discounted and only available at our in person events!
Please check out our Last Chance items ♡
Will you restock 'Standard Grade' pins if they're sold out?
We don't consider restocking unless we are completely sold out of a design and there is still high demand for it. Please consider supporting our preorders - preordering is the only way to guarantee you'll get the best quality pins ♡
What is a [LIMITED] design?
These designs are only created by demand and might not come back. Please look out for preorder interest posts on Instagram!
Can you split a pin set for me?
Sets are prepackaged together and are sold as a set. We might have individual pins listed if there were a high odd number available. Usually the odd amount left have been C grade (refer our pin grading policy) and those are only sold at our in person events. Typically the C grades we choose to bring are of our older designs that have long been sold out online.
Why should I preorder?
1. Preordering is the only way to guarantee you'll get the best quality pins we have ♡
2. The amount of [LIMITED] designs made is determined by the amount of preorders we get. Don't miss out on your chance!
3. Preorder sets are discounted 👀♡
4. Some designs are available as a single pin during preorder period only and might be packaged into sets once in-hand. Preordering lets you create the sets you want ♡
5. You're supporting a small business to be able to make the art you love ♡
Can I wait for the in-hand drop instead of preordering?
[LIMITED] designs are made based on preorder demand. This means that there may be very limited stock left after fulfilling pre-orders. Any leftover pins will be first brought to our in-person events and then we might not have many left to drop on our online shop afterwards. We encourage you to preorder so you don't miss out on these exclusive designs ♡ Also sign up for our emails for early access so you can have the best chance for our in-hand drops!
