Beautiful, Handcrafted Jewelry for Medical, Allied Health, and Vocational Professionals.

Each Medical Emblem is individually hand made using old world craftsmanship and painstaking attention to detail. Each label pin is layered with genuine 24k gold to provide a distinguished appearance and long lasting value.

As you have seen, we have a large number of Medical Lapel Pins and Vocational Pins that we keep in stock for our customers. If you have specific needs, we have the ability to create a custom pin especially for your organization.

A word about student recognition: It's not a small thing when you present your student with a pin, chain, or accessory item that incorporates a symbolic emblem. It says to the students:

• "We're proud of you!"
• "We care for you!"
• "You are important!"
• "We're confident that you'll succeed!"
• "We want you to succeed!"
• "You're achieving your goals!"

Lapel Pins are highly visible recognition items seen by the student's peers and colleagues. The impact of motivation to your students is beyond value. It's a spirit that must be nurtured and built over time. It does not just happen.

We have programs that start the first day the student arrives at your school and continue to build throughout the entire program. The result is a highly motivated person with higher achievement, higher attendance, and less drop-outs.

We are always adding new designs to our Medical, Allied Health, and Vocational Pin lines. If you don't see what you're looking for, ask us, as chances are we have it.
