Queen pins are about empowerment, resilience and being braver than brazen. Usually featuring delicate detailing, meaning they are made of high-quality materials (think enamel and metal alloys) these pins tend to be around 1.5 inches – 2 inches in size so as not too bold but still big enough for the design. They typically are themed around leadership, female empowerment and royalty which make them a hit among women who want to show strength and confidence through their accessories.
Generally, good quality queen pins values between $10 to $25 depending on the design and from where it is purchased. Others, and rare pieces in particular may only appear once or twice a season where their resale prices have on occasion doubled by reason of scarcity. These are collectable pieces, above and beyond the revenue they deliver per sale-industry data show that limited runs generate upwards of 30 percent more demand than regular designs.
The cultural aspect also has a lot to do with how massive they are. Designs featuring prominent figures and nod-to symbolic elements of female-empowering movements inspired from historical moments have been around for quite some time now. Others, like the crown or scepter pins that carry leadership and authority, are further complemented by a quest for goods-symbolic of these themes.
Queen pins often come with motivational quotes and bold text by artists or designers. You will also come across popular phrases in the design like, “Rule Your World” or “Born to Lead,” which easily target confident and forbidding personalities. One of the designers at Etsy said it well: “These pins are not accessories, they're statements. The focus on empowerment has been instrumental to the sustained relevance in fashion and pop culture.
