My lapel pin / tie tack section has grown by leaps and bounds. I started designing them a couple of years ago as an inexpensive alternative to some of my other jewelry. I never dreamed my lapel pins would become so popular! But it’s a good kind of dream.
I think most of my customers wear them on their lab coats or jackets but they work for hats and for ties as well. Our lapel pins (or tie tacks depending on your use of them) all operate the same way. You will find a short “nail” or “spike” that has been soldered onto the back of the jewelry piece. Just gently push this point through the sweater, hat , lapel, or tie, press the accompanying nylon back onto the nail and enjoy wearing your new jewelry piece.
I’ve tried to cover a lot of popular animal designs, so you’ll find a number of popular dog breeds, some cats, some exotics like parrots and iguanas, and even a monkey! There are bound to be more coming at some time, and as soon as the inspiration strikes me, watch out! Sometimes I think my casters handle a new box of Magic Zoo original models gingerly, making bets how many they have to create molds for this time.
So I’ll certainly be adding additional designs as time goes by, so if you haven’t found any of your favorite tie tacks (keep in mind I’m using the terms tie tack and lapel pin interchangeably) check back later and it just might become part of my lapel pin collection. |
