Lucky Cat Cafe: Matcha Taiyaki Ice Cream Pin 🍦

Pin Details: Gold plated, hard enamel, detailed screenprint, custom backstamp, two posts with a rubber clasp for extra security.

Size: 1.38 x 2.38 inches

Disclaimer: Colors may slightly vary due to the handmade nature of pins. For restocks, enamel colors are hand mixed and color matched from the original batch of pins. This may result in a slight color variation but very hard to notice if there’s even variation at all. If colors look off to me, I have them remade. I’m very particular about quality but try to be as transparent as possible.

Pins are wrapped in a honeycomb kraft paper roll and placed into a bubble mailer/cardboard box for extra safety.

Orders will be dropped off at my local post office within 7-14 business days.

I ship worldwide! International Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. I'm not responsible for delays due to customs.

GRADING SYSTEMS:

As all of my products are handmade, I do not claim that they are PERFECT. I have created grading systems in order to express possible imperfections you may find in order to be fully transparent about the quality of my products. Each product in my shop is carefully inspected and categorized with this grading system in place. Grades are also highly subjective, but I do pride myself with having a very strict grading system as I am a fellow collector of pins and am very picky!

PIN GRADING SYSTEM:

Pin Grading System was created by Pinny Planet to specifically address the quality of pins. (If you are a creator who'd like to use my grading scale on their own page, feel free to use this grading scale with credit!)

Due to the nature of enamel pins, I do not advertise that my pins are FLAWLESS or PERFECT. Enamel pins are handmade, as the enamel is filled by hand meticulously and polished by hand. Pins can be close to FLAWLESS, but in my experience of making pins since 2017, it is nearly impossible to get an absolute FLAWLESS pin. With that being said, I guarantee the best quality for my pins. I aim for my products to be as close to FLAWLESS as they can be. Quality is at the forefront of my shop, and I am extremely picky with the pins that I release in my shop. I do not sell anything that I wouldn't purchase myself!

Grading system only applies to the front of the pin. Metal backstamps are likely to exhibit flaws, as the pins are constantly moved and placed on their backs on a variety of surfaces during production

A Grade (Standard Grade): The best pins of the batch, they are free of major defects and closest to what a “perfect” pin can look like. They are still subject to minor imperfections. These minor imperfections can only be seen if angled in a specific way and looked at very closely. Minor imperfections are barely noticeable and may consist of a minor scratch, tiny dark spec, glitter spec, small screenprint imperfection, and metal plating defect. They’re either “perfect” or close to “perfect.” I recommend A Grade pins for collectors who are very attentive to their pins and prefer the best of the best.

B Grade: These pins will exhibit minor imperfections that may or may not be noticeable when the pin is angled in a specific way and/or looked at very closely. These imperfections will be much more noticeable in general than A Grade pins. Minor imperfections may consist of a minor scratch, low enamel fill, tiny dent, slight enamel overspill, glitter spec, small screenprint imperfection, and metal plating defect. I recommend B Grade pins for collectors who don't mind a minor flaw that's not very noticeable unless you look for the flaw.

C Grade: These pins will exhibit minor imperfections that will be noticeable when inspected. These imperfections will be much more noticeable in general than A or B Grade pins. Minor imperfections may consist of a minor scratch, low enamel fill, tiny dent, slight enamel overspill, glitter spec, small screenprint imperfection, and metal plating defect (excluding backs). I recommend C Grade pins for collectors who don't mind noticeable minor flaws to their pins. I also recommend C Grade pins for every day wear and tear since they’re discounted.

Note: I do NOT sell pins with extreme low enamel fill, mistakes in enamel, deep scratches, misaligned screenprint, broken posts, air bubbles, gauges, big overspills, noticeable flaws on faces, missing enamel, etc. I do NOT sell pins that I don't feel comfortable selling to the pin community. I guarantee that ALL pins sent to buyers have been closely looked at individually - but sometimes I may miss something or we may not agree. If you feel that there was a mistake with your pin or you do not agree with the pin you've received, please read my Exchange Policy below! I have never encountered an issue with a buyer feeling that their pin was majorly flawed. Quality is EVERYTHING to me, and I do NOT want to misrepresent my designs with poor quality pins. Pins that I do not deem sellable will NOT be sold.
