Grading

I basically have three grades for my pins: Collector's Grade (A Grade), Second's Grade (B Grade) and Reject's Grade (C Grade).

Please note that enamel pins are handmade items, so there is no '100% perfectly flawless' pins as they can present a few flaws, but at 雪튜디오 I pride on providing the best quality pins available in the batch and do not sell any pins that I deem as rejects. (I'm a perfectionist myself, so you can rest assure on the fact that I'd grade the pins proper!)

Pin grading will be done under natural sunlight or a well-lit room.

This is my criteria for each category for pin grading:

A Grade (Collector's Grade)
i. Very minor enamel underfill
ii. Tiny air bubbles
iii. Light scratches on surface
iv. Minor dust particles

B Grade (Seconds Grade)
i. Missing enamel fill in some small parts
ii. Tiny air bubbles
iii. Noticeable scratches on surface 
iv. Visible dust particles (Will not be noticeable from afar) 

C Grade (Rejects Grade)
i. Missing enamel fill in bigger parts
ii. Tiny air bubbles
iii. More noticeable scratches on surface
iv. Visible dust particles
