Saint Bernard Pin – Pewter Lapel Pin, Made in USA

A gentle giant, the St. Bernard was originally bred for rescue in the Swiss Alps. Known for its massive size, strength, and calm temperament, this breed has a powerful, muscular build, a broad head, and expressive eyes, evoking a friendly and intelligent demeanor. Their coat, which can be either short or long, is dense and water-resistant, usually in shades of red and white. Renowned for their kind nature, St. Bernards are great with children and are known for being gentle, patient, and protective, making them excellent family pets. Despite their size, they have a calm and easygoing nature but do require adequate space. They are moderately active, enjoying walks and playtime, but are not overly energetic. Regular grooming is essential, especially for the long-haired variety, to maintain their coat and manage shedding. St. Bernards thrive in a loving environment where they can be an integral part of the family, offering companionship and loyalty in their imposing yet affectionate manner.

Craft & construction

Built to stay put. Our pins have two posts and clutches which hold it flat and ensure a spin-free application wherever you display it. It solves a common pin complaint. The 1/4-inch steel tacks are long enough to pass through most fabrics, about 1/4 inch, yet short enough to sit flush. And each clutch seats into a small groove on the post with a firm, satisfying click — haptic feedback that tells you it's locked, and a detail cheaper pins skip.

Hand-painted, marine-grade finish. Each hand-painted piece is carefully painted by an artisan right in our studio in Port Gamble, WA. The proprietary multistep process includes priming each piece followed by meticulous painting by hand in acrylics with fine detail work to bring the item to life with incredible detail. The final step adds a coating of marine-grade epoxy — a hard, clear finish that protects the artwork so our product can be used on a boat, outside, or other conditions highly resistant to fading or wear.

Certified American pewter. The antiqued finish is completely safe to touch — and the craft behind it has been refined over three decades. Each batch of pewter that arrives at our shop in Port Gamble, WA from an American supplier comes with a lab test showing the material is lead free.

Ready to give. Every item arrives attached to a backing card and sealed in plastic — clean, protected, and presentable as a gift the moment it arrives.
