Camel Pin
Looking for something different but fun? Then check out my Camel Hat Pin.
Handmade from recycled aluminium, it gives road signs a second life through clean, contemporary design.
Featuring hand-stamped details, this camel captures my love of the weird and wonderful creatures we find in the world. It's the perfect addition to any hat, tie or lapel.
Each one is hand stamped, hand sawn, and the edges filed smooth. The camel is then sanded to remove any imperfections or scratches, black sharpie pen applied and polished to a light shine. A pressure clasp pin is then glued to the back and left to dry for up to three days to ensure a proper curing process.
Made from recycled road sign aluminium, stainless steel pressure clasp pin, and a sharpie pen.
Size approximately 20mm tall and 20mm wide.
Jewellery Care:
Here are some ways to keep your Camel Pin in great condition!
- Hold your camel by the edges or the backing pin, especially when putting them on and off.
- Try not to touch the front of the camel if you can. The flat unstamped surfaces can become marked and scratched over time.
- Avoid getting them wet. It's best to avoid wearing your pin in heavy rain or in the shower, as the aluminium can discolour, and the sharpie pen can rub out over time.
- Keeping them clean... avoid using alcohol based products on your pin. Use a microfiber cloth to polish them or if marked, use 1000 grit sandpaper and gently sand the front of the pin to remove any finger prints or unwanted marks. Please note: once sanded, the pin front will be raw; so avoid touching the surface until air (oxygen) has started tarnishing it again.
- Store them safely. All Meekz Contemporary Jewellery comes in a gift box, which will keep your pieces clean and protected from the elements.
