LE & Pricing Information

At this time, to ensure I am able to provide excellent customer service to any/all interested parties, my product releases will be limited edition 30 pieces maximum. Limited Edition means that no more than 30 pieces of that particular design (as it stands), will ever be sold & once sold out, there will be no restock. A variant could be made in the future, which would in turn have it's own LE.

Variants &/or miniatures (if any were to be released) could differ in amount (w/any miniatures being an open edition product). Open Edition means that there is no limit on the amount of that design that could/will be released.

Pricing will vary per pin based on multiple factors including (but not limited to) size, effects, design, add-on's etc. Seconds pins will always be $2 less than Standards grade versions.

Being Sustainable & Giving Back

♻️ In an effort to be sustainable, the packaging for all of my items will be recycled, recyclable, compostable or reusable. This includes: backer cards, bubble mailers & wrapping.

I also strongly encourage the repurposing of all supplies used to ship your items. ♻️ 

Portions of profits from the first item/unit sold of all drops will go directly towards a charitable organization. The organization selected will be directly correlated to the theme of the item. Details will be shared via my Instagram page.

Grading

Standard: In a Standard Grade, typically any/all slight flaws will only be visible when held at an angle & will be unnoticeable when held from an arm's length in normal lighting. No flaws such as: missing enamel, deep scratches, misprinting or miscoloring will be sold as, Standard Grade. These pins will be the, "best of the batch". Common & acceptable flaws in a Standard Grade pin could be: very small pin pricks, small specks from screen printing, slight surface scratches from the polishing process, small imperfections in the plating etc.

Seconds: Seconds grade pins will have minor flaws that will not take away from the overall beauty or enjoyment of the pins. Flaws may include all items listed above (typically in greater quantity) in addition to: light scratches, scruffs, specks, pinpricks &/or (enamel) bubbles, other enamel issues (possibly missing in very small spaces on the pin or incorrect color placement), slight screen printing issues, plating issues (including minimally missing plating, scuffed plating) etc. Typically these issues cannot be seen when held at an arm’s length in normal lighting &/or when on display. Seconds- will have more/greater quantity, more visible flaws listed in the seconds description.

Flawed: Flawed pins will not be for sale. These pins (while still enjoyable for collectors) will be held & at times traded (w/priority to fellow creators &/or artists) or converted into flawed magnets. Flawed pins include those with extreme defects such as large places of missing enamel, multiple deep scratches, scuffs, unusable posts, etc. they will be marked with a red “X” on the back.

PLEASE NOTE: enamel pins are handmade products & no item will be perfect. Pin backs are NOT considered in the grading process (unless there is a missing post - those pins will be considered, flawed).

Seconds, Seconds- & Flawed pins cannot be exchanged or returned.

Standard Grade pins will be considered for exchange on a case by case basis thru photos & communications exclusively thru email via: MADAMALEEOTA@OUTLOOK.COM
