The Jayvik enamel pin, custom manufactured by BJD Promos, is a remarkable example of how enamel pins can convey narrative and emotion. Measuring 4 inches wide, it is larger than most collectible pins, which gave the design space to showcase intricate details and subtle gradients. This pin captures two characters in an intimate embrace, aiming to portray their relationship with both emotional resonance and technical precision.
Key Specs:
Size: 4 inches wide
Process: Hard enamel combined with printing and UV print layers
Plating: Silver, offering a neutral yet polished base for the artwork
Colors: Extensive palette including Pantone shades such as 407, 7519, 479, 4745, 411, and 439, supported by transparent sandblast (663), iridescent opal (705), and pearlescent finishes
Background: Produced with enamel fill; diamond powder was considered but deliberately excluded to maintain the artwork’s atmosphere
Details: UV print accents for enhanced shadows and realism
Attachment: Two rubber clutches for secure fastening
Backstamp: Custom logo and numbering, laser engraved (LE 1/25 through LE 30/30)
Packaging: PVC bag with bubble wrap protection
The combination of transparent sandblast and pearlescent effects gave the pin a soft, luminous quality, while UV printing added extra dimension without overwhelming the composition. The decision to avoid diamond powder ensured that the mood of the artwork remained subtle and consistent with the client’s vision.
The communication process for the Jayvik pin was dynamic, with several important exchanges between the client and BJD Promos.
Clarifying the Background
Client feedback: “Let’s keep the enamel background sample. We won’t use the diamond powder for the background.”
This change ensured that the final design maintained the desired atmosphere rather than introducing unnecessary sparkle.
Positive Reinforcement
Client feedback: “Thank you!! This is looking amazing.”
This confirmed the project was progressing in the right direction, boosting confidence for both the client and production team.
Addressing Repeated Requests
Client feedback: “Please see below for changes. Some are changes I’ve asked to be made previously, and it still hasn’t. Can we prioritize getting these older samples finished, please?”
BJD Promos acknowledged this feedback and re-prioritized all pending adjustments. The client’s reminder helped ensure earlier overlooked changes were not lost in the workflow.
The collaboration demonstrated BJD Promos’ commitment to transparent communication and adapting production schedules to meet client needs.
The final production stage emphasized precision and detail:
Polishing and Sandblast: The silver plating was carefully polished, while the transparent sandblast technique created texture and contrast.
Enamel Filling: Multiple Pantone shades and pearlescent finishes were layered with care, providing both vibrancy and subtlety.
UV Printing: Applied to add depth in shadowed areas, enhancing the expressions and clothing details of the characters.
Quality Control: Each pin was inspected individually, checking enamel fills, plating consistency, and numbering accuracy. The engraved numbering (LE 1/25 to LE 30/30) added exclusivity and collectability.
When the final shipment was delivered, the client expressed satisfaction with how the revisions were handled and how the pin’s atmosphere aligned with their artistic goals. By balancing technical execution with creative vision, BJD Promos delivered a collectible that combined artistry with production excellence.
1. Why did the client choose to remove diamond powder from the background?
The diamond powder created a sparkle effect that conflicted with the emotional tone of the design. By using an enamel background instead, the artwork preserved its intended atmosphere.
2. How does BJD Promos handle repeated feedback during production?
We carefully track all client feedback. If adjustments from earlier stages are not reflected, they are prioritized in the next round of revisions to maintain accuracy and client trust.
3. What challenges arise in producing a large 4-inch enamel pin?
Larger pins demand exceptional attention to detail, as any imperfections in enamel filling, plating, or printing are more noticeable. They also require additional reinforcement in packaging and quality checks.
4. How does limited-edition numbering benefit enamel pin collectors?
Limited-edition numbering, such as LE 1/25 through LE 30/30, enhances exclusivity. Collectors value the uniqueness and rarity of numbered items, which increases both sentimental and market value.
