Pin Grading + Care

Pins are handmade items, so small imperfections are normal. Here's a short guide on what to expect when you receive your pin order.

Grade A
These are high grade pins that may have the following qualities.

⊹ Minor polish marks
⊹ Minor discoloration only noticeable upon close inspection

Grade B (not available online at this time)
These are good quality, but they have more noticeable imperfections.

⊹ More noticeable, larger polish marks
⊹ More noticeable areas of discoloration/oxidation

 

Pin Care
You can use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe the surface of your pin to maintain its luster and shine. (Note: The glow powder in the glow-in-the-dark kuroneko-sama pins has a slightly sandy texture, so please don't use a microfiber cloth on that area. The cloth will likely snag.)

I don't recommend using alcohol wipes on your pins since alcohol may bleach your pin's finish.
