Do enamel pins rust?

Enamel pins are made of different metals. If the pin is made of iron, it can rust. Pins of brass, copper, or stainless steel aren't prone to rust. Most enamel pins are silver or gold plated, which protects the pins from moisture and humidity that can cause rust.

How should I store enamel pins?

Metal pins can tarnish or fade, so they should be stored in an airtight container and kept away from sunlight. You can also store enamel pins in a resealable plastic bag by pressing the air out before sealing.

How do I clean enamel pins?

Enamel pins can tarnish. If it's mild, the oils from your fingers should be enough to remove the tarnish. You can use silver polish and a soft cloth for heavily tarnished pins. You should never clean an enamel pin with harsh chemicals, even if you only need to clean the back side.
