Enamel craftsmanship originated in the ancient Middle East and Egypt, and was later introduced to China, India and other countries. It was not until the 3rd century AD that enamel technology was introduced to Europe and became a popular handicraft in the Middle Ages. Enamel pins were originally used to adorn the costumes and palace buildings of nobility and royalty, and were admired for their bright colors and lustrous luster. In the Middle Ages in Europe, enamel pins were widely used in religious, political and social activities, becoming a symbol of power and status.

Making enamel pins is different from acrylic and tinplate pins, enamel pins are a complex craft skill that requires multiple processes:

– Making the substrate: first make the metal substrate, such as copper, silver or gold.

– Drawing a pattern: To draw a pattern on a metal substrate, you can use colored enamel powder or wire.
