Plating sets the whole look of a custom keychain or pin. We offer gold, silver, gunmetal, rainbow and black nickel finishes (and more), each pairing differently with soft enamel color. Here is how to choose.
The finishes
- Gold — warm, premium, great for elegant or luxury branding
- Silver/nickel — clean and classic, the most versatile default
- Gunmetal — dark grey, modern and understated
- Rainbow — iridescent, eye-catching for novelty and collector designs
- Black nickel — deep black metal, bold contrast with bright enamel
Pairing plating with enamel
Bright enamel pops against black nickel or gunmetal; pastel and white look crisp with silver; metallic-themed designs shine in gold or rainbow. We can sample a finish so you see it before bulk.
