Yorkshire Terrier (Yorkie) Premium Pin – Pewter Lapel Pin, Made in USA

Affectionately known as the Yorkie, the Yorkshire Terrier is a small breed with a big personality, originally bred in England for catching rats in mills. Renowned for its luxurious, silky coat and perky topknot, the Yorkie is a pint-sized bundle of energy and charm. This breed comes in a striking blue and tan coat, and despite its small size, it has a bold, confident, and affectionate demeanor. Yorkies are incredibly loyal to their owners, often forming a strong bond with a single person. Their size makes them perfect for apartment living, but they also enjoy regular playtime and walks. Intelligent and spirited, Yorkies can be trained but sometimes exhibit a stubborn streak. They make excellent companions, thriving on attention and interaction. Regular grooming is essential to keep their fine coat in top condition. Ideal for families or individuals, Yorkies are adaptable, loving, and make delightful companions, perfectly blending the qualities of a toy breed with the heart of a terrier.

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.
