Project FAQ
Select the pledge level you want to back at and purchase any desired addons. The designs can be chosen individually post-campaign in the pledge manager.
The handmade nature of enamel pins means that there will be some small amount of variance among the pins. Please note that pins are not expected to be perfect, and some small imperfections are not considered to be a defect. A Grade | Standard: These are the pins that backers will receive. They may have small, but relatively unnoticeable imperfections. (ie: the imperfections are not visible at a glance.) Imperfections may include slight underfill, minor scuff or scratch on the metal, plating imperfections on the edges, a spec of dust in a non-central area. B Grade | Seconds: These pins will be set aside and will not be included in backer pledges, or in the blind bags. They will have small, but easier to spot imperfections. These pins will be sold at a discount after the campaign concludes and rewards are delivered. These pins may have underfill, more visible scratches, a spec of dust or small bubble in the enamel, or a small, incorrect color fill that is located in a non-central area. C Grade: These pins have noticeable imperfections/mistakes and will be given away as freebies or sold at a large discount at in-person events, where the buyer can see what they are purchasing.
The blind bags are a surprise by their nature, and a specific design cannot be chosen. Blind bags will contain one random unlocked Star Candy Isopod pin design from the “Blind Bag” section and their corresponding sticker in a sealed bag. If you want a specific design, please back for an “enamel pin” and choose the design you like.
The blind bag stickers are exclusive to the blind bags and are not available for individual purchase.
If you order multiple blind bags, you should not receive duplicate contents. Blind bag rewards will be picked packed consecutively from the blind bags inventory. While blind bags are picked and packed consecutively, I do not know what is inside each bag. If you order an individual enamel star pin and a blind bags, the potential exists for them to be duplicates of eachother. I can only ensure no-duplicates between the blind bags themselves within the same order. Please note that if you order more blind bags than potential designs available, you will receive duplicates. (Ie: If you order 13 blind bags, but there are only 10 unlocked designs, you will receive 10 blind bags with unique contents, and 3 blind bags with duplicate contents.)
The earring charms and pendant themselves are made of the same zinc alloy material as the pins, and are not hypoallergenic. The fish hook earrings that go in your ears and Venetian box chain necklaces that go around your neck are made of stainless steel, and should be cadmium, nickel, and lead-free.

BackerKit FAQ
BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.
If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.
You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.
Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.
