Christ with Crown of Thorns Pin, Pewter

According to the Gospels, before the crucifixion, Roman soldiers placed a crown of thorns on Christ’s head. It became one of the great symbols of the Passion: suffering endured, and faith. On a Christian biker’s vest, it’s a discreet yet strong way to show what matters to him.

Real relief
The face is sculpted in full volume, up to 8 mm thick, with the crown of thorns, the beard and the long locks of hairframing the face. The edges are flat, so the pin sits flat against the leather, with no sharp edge sticking out or catching. At 21 g, it’s a solid, heavy piece you can feel in your hand.

Three fastening posts
At 37 mm tall, this pin is held by three posts: it stays perfectly straight and won’t move on your vest. To make sure you never lose it on the road, try our locking pin backs (you’ll need three), which fit all our pins.

Handmade, piece by piece
In our family workshop, since 1989, each pin is cast in solid pewter in our own moulds, deburred by hand, then patinated to give it the antique silver look that brings out every detail. No two are exactly alike.

In real life
Our photos already show the difference in finish compared with mass-produced pins. But they can’t convey the true relief or the weight of solid pewter: in your hand, the pin feels more substantial and looks even better than on screen.
