These are stamped pins with the paint actually being glass powders.
Cloisonné pins have a highly polished finish that is extremely hard and
durable. When fired at a high heat the powders turn to liquid and flow into
the grooves of the pin. Colour choices are limited (Aoki colour chart)
unlike all other process of pins (Pantone colours).

How these pins are made:
STEP 1 Stamping Molding
A steel die is carved from the black and white art. The pins are then stamped out. STEP 2 Outline Cutting
Cutting molds are made separately, then cut to the exact outline of the design. Additional outline cutting molds may be required depending on the complexity of the design. If a center hole or cut-out is required, an additional cut-through mold must be used. STEP 3 Colouring
Enamel is composed of glass-like material combined with metal oxides and clay into fine powder. Cloisonné powder cannot be mixed like paints or soft enamel, as each colour returns to its own shade after heating. STEP 4 Firing
Colours are fired one at a time at 1,600F for two to four minutes to stabilize the enamel and prevent colour bleeding. STEP 5 Stoning & Polishing
Each piece is fully cooled. Finishing is by rubbing the surface with a carborundum stone until all excess colour has been worn away. Surface then polished until smooth and shining. STEP 6 Attachment
Attachment is soldered onto the back of each piece. STEP 7 Plating
Plating now can be processed. The quality of plating varies with the length of time the metal is soaked in the plating liquid. STEP 8 Inspection & Packing
The metal piece is baked at approximately 450F for 12 to 15 minutes.
