♥ Grading Guide
Please note that each item is handmade so there may be tiny imperfections on every item. Please read below to see how I determine if an item is of “standard” quality or considered “seconds”.
♥ Pins

These pins are the highest grade being sold and will only have minor flaws that are usually only visible under close inspection or at a certain angle/lighting.
These minor flaws can include:
