Enamel Pin Examples

An example of a cloisonne pin. This technique is ideal where fine metal outlines act as perimeters for broader areas of enamel. The pins have a very smooth finish so an epoxy coating is generally not needed.
Examples of traditional resin coated, metal name badges. A small gemstone can be added for senior staff.
Example of a regular enamel pin. The metal is stamped or photoeteched. Colour infill is applied and then a coating of epoxy resin is added.
An inexpensive solution using a print on stainless steel. An epoxy top coat is optional.
The tiger's head is an overprint on a cloisonne pin base. It was not possible to reproduce the tiger's head in enamel because of the fine detail.

Miscellaneous Examples

The stainless steel bookmark was designed for a chef. Cooking books and stainless steel are always found in the kitchen so this was an appropriate promotional givaway.
A set of pewter medallions for the RSPCA. The medallions were created from hand drawn sketches provided by the customer. Each medallion was individually numbered.
Award medals (stamped) with bronze, silver and gold plating finishes. We can also provide the ribbons and a suitable box.

These are ideal for inexpensive, high volume promotional givaways.
This admission ticket was engraved with individual seat numbering. It is an ideal keepsake after a major event.

Brisingr Medallion - Case Study

For the Australian release of Brisingr by Christopher Paolini, Random House Publishing launched a competition to win a gold medallion. See next slide for details.
In a worldwide exclusive, Random House Australia ran a major competition to win a solid gold one-of-a-kind Brisingr medallion worth $10,000. Officially endorsed by Christopher Paolini, the medallion features a certified autograph by Paolini and an illustration by cover artist John Jude Palencar.
To sculpt the overall form of the dragon, we created a depth map where the darker areas are more recessed than the lighter areas.
The depth map from the previous step was used to create a relief.
A greyscale version of the dragon illustration was used to extract texture information.
The final relief created with the texture superimposed on the base relief.
A computer render of the finished medallion prior to manufacturing.
To cast the medallion it first has to be created in wax via a milling machine or rapid prototyping.
The back of the medallion in wax.
The wax is converted to metal using a technique called investment casting. The raw casting needs filing and polishing. This image is of a sterling silver medallion at an early filing stage.
The final medallion in 18ct yellow gold.

We use the latest computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) techniques to create advanced 3D virtual models. Designs can be visualised on screen and in print before any manufacturing commences. Concepts can be approved before prototypes are produced thus saving costs.

We can supply pins, badges, rings, medallions, pendants, cufflinks and other items customised to your needs.

Most of our product is designed and made in Australia however certain processes (e.g. cloisonne pins) can only be done offshore.
