Christian Lapel Pins Help Church Members Keep the Faith

April 18th, 2011

Church members of all denominations enjoy creating and wearing custom lapel pins as a way of showing faith in their religion. These small pieces of identification often come in the shape of a cross or a dove of peace and include details about a house of worship, its members, and location.

Because of their popularity, stock lapel pins are sometimes hard to come by. If your Christian group finds it hard to locate the image that they are looking for, let them know that all of the artwork that we create is custom. That means that they can take a common symbol and add their own personal flare to it. This option allows your group to create lapel pins that reflect Christian values but that are personal and memorable as well. Now, that’s something worth considering as an option for your group’s next event or fundraiser!

Rich in Symbolism

Religious lapel pins are symbolic in nature. At first glance, a person can see the message behind them. Cross pins in particular are very popular. Christians view the symbol as being holy. That is why they use it rather exclusively. Originally used as an ornamental symbol, it adopted a religious connotation as Christianity was slowly introduced to the world.

Taking a Standard Image and Making It Your Own

Lapel pin makers like Lapel Pins R Us enjoy taking a common image like a picture of a church or a Bible and transforming it into something unique for our customers. For example, instead of being a plain black Holy Book, it can have flecks of gold glitter in it.

Another version of a unique religious lapel pin has hinges on the spine of the book so that the pin opens and closes when the latch is released. The sky is virtually the limit when it comes to all of the design options that we make available to you. From unique sizes and shapes to incredible add-ons like simulated gemstones and dangling charms, there are plenty of ways to make your gold cross lapel pin stand out.

For Church Functions, Fundraisers, and Fellowship

Christian lapel pins are perfect for church functions, fundraisers, and fellowship events. Despite their small size, they have a mighty mission. Cross lapel pins serve as a reminder of the basis of the religion. People from every type of religious background recognize the symbol and associate it with Christians and Christianity. This is especially important at events where there is mixed company.

Christian jewelry for women and men tends to be very popular. Custom lapel pins have a jewelry-like quality about them. People of all ages can appreciate the thought and craftsmanship that goes into creating crosses, churches, and peace doves that can be worn on clothing and hats.

February 17th, 2011

Have you ever looked at our site and wondered, “How do I pick a lapel pin for my event?” Here is some basic information to help with your decision:

1) What will your pin be used for? If it is to show off your company, recognize a valuable employee or shed light on an important cause, we recommend the cloisonné style as this offers a very finished piece that is hand polished when it is produced at the factory.

The die struck style is a great one to select as it offers a flat surface with raised and recessed metal that allows for details to stand out. You can create it in different finishes like gold or silver which adds appeal and versatility.

We have other types of lapel pins that are featured on the website. We make recommendations based on the information that you provide to us. This helps us ensure that you receive the style of lapel pin that best fits your needs.
