What is hard enamel? How is it different from soft enamel?

Difference for custom enamel coins:

Hard enamel, also known as cloisonné, is a durable material created by fusing finely ground glass particles to a metal surface through high-temperature firing. This process involves applying the glass powder to the metal, then heating it in a kiln at temperatures around 1,600°F (870°C), causing the glass to melt and form a smooth, hard coating.

The resulting enamel layer is exceptionally hard and scratch-resistant, providing a lustrous and long-lasting finish. So strong in fact that only a diamond can scratch it! This technique has been traditionally used in jewelry and decorative arts to achieve vibrant, glossy surfaces that are both aesthetically pleasing and resilient.

Soft enamel on the other hand is a type of paint and most companies who claim to use "hard enamel" really use imitation hard enamel which is a type of epoxy. Real hard enamel is always manufactured using melted glass particles and is applied all by hand to the badge, coin, medallion or other decorative piece. It is the traditional method utilized throughout history and there are only few modern factories with the capabilities to do this.

Brass vs. Copper. What is the difference?

Custom brass coins vs custom copper coins:

Copper and brass are both popular materials for medals and medallions, each offering unique advantages. Copper is heavier and softer, giving it a premium feel and making it ideal for intricate designs that showcase fine details. Brass, being lighter and stronger, is more durable and resistant to wear, making it suitable for medals that need to withstand frequent handling. While copper develops a rich patina over time, adding character to commemorative pieces, brass maintains a bright, gold-like finish that enhances its aesthetic appeal. Both materials can be used to create stunning, premier coins, medals and medallions.

*We use brass more frequently than copper. It is slightly more cost effective and has a similar surface hue as copper.
