Review on 🛡️ KINGPiiN Shield Emblem Hanging Accessories by Todd Taniguchi

Pins and brooches from KINGPiiN are characterized by their workmanship and different success/failures in design. Generalizations aren't easy to make, and some reviews should be just as (if not more) a reflection of one's tolerance for the quality of inexpensive costume jewelry and one's aesthetics. However, here are some generalizations. : * As a general rule, pins with a full lapel design are superior all around than large brooches (as well as pins and split brooches) which have a standard safety pin clasp. These pins are weak and sometimes very poorly attached. I would recommend replacing it with a larger safety pin that needs to be glued onto the body of the pin. * In general, silver pins and brooches look better than gold and much better than black. * In general, pins/brooches with fewer chains look better than those with more. Pins/brooches with black chains are not the best choice. Black chains are particularly fragile and look cheap. * As a rule, pins/brooches with nautical motifs are better finished and look better than those with (pseudo)military motifs and badges. I think this is one of the less successful two piece pins. The two parts are very thin and not elaborately embossed. The addition of the chain adds to the overall flimsy look. I separated the two parts of the pin and dropped the chain which helped.
