Lapel Pins

Simply stated, a lapel pin is a pin which is intended to be worn on the lapel of a jacket or coat. As with most simple terms, many variables and differing details were distilled down to make a single line definition. Lapel pins are generally small, under an inch or so, and are usually made to be a clearly identifiable motif. They are worn by men and women alike, and are usually worn one at a time. One reason lapel pins are such a popular item is that they can be easily customized.

Custom lapel pins are a very versatile type of jewelry item, used in many different ways for many different purposes:

Worn as identifiers by members of club and fraternal organizations.

Used and worn as campaign pins during elections years (elephants & donkeys being very popular motifs).

Worn to create awareness (Awareness Lapel Pins) of a cause ranging from breast cancer research or stopping real estate development or demolition.

Given out as corporate or professional identifiers.

Logo lapel pins are often used as promotional items to stimulate everything from helicopter sales to home equity loans, the cheapest auto insurance, to conference calling.

Of course, lapel pins need not be worn only on the lapel. Many collectors may prefer to wear them on a lanyard or as a hat pin on a cap. They can also be worn as tie tacks if the post is long enough, or even pinned onto a favorite tote bag. Custom made lapel pins can be an ideal object for networking, breaking the conversational ice for many a convention-goers, traveler, transit lapel pin or seminar attendee.
