Custom Metal Peace Dove Medal — Royal Blue Ribbon, Enamel Filled, Commemorative Award for Peace Events & Ceremonies
What Is This Peace Dove Metal Medal?
This custom peace dove medal is a premium commemorative award crafted from high-quality zinc alloy through precision die-casting technology. The medal features a radiant golden finish with a sunburst-ray border pattern, giving it a dignified and celebratory appearance. At the center, a bright blue enamel peace dove carrying an olive branch is set against a geometrically patterned blue enamel star, symbolizing peace, harmony, and global unity.
The medal is suspended from a thick, smooth royal blue satin ribbon that drapes elegantly around the neck. A metal ring at the top connects the ribbon to the medal body. The reverse side can be custom engraved with event name, date, recipient name, or a commemorative message. Full enamel color filling ensures vibrant, long-lasting colors that will not fade or chip over time.
Designed for peace ceremonies, charity runs, memorial events, interfaith gatherings, community awards, and custom commemorative souvenirs — this medal conveys a universal message of peace with timeless elegance.

Is This Peace Medal Durable Enough for Long-Term Display and Wear?
Yes. The peace dove medal is made from high-quality zinc alloy produced through precision die-casting, a process that yields a dense, solid metal structure with excellent dimensional accuracy. The gold finish is electroplated for a bright, uniform surface that resists tarnishing and oxidation. The enamel color fill is baked at high temperature, fusing the enamel to the metal surface for a hard, glossy, chip-resistant finish that will not fade or peel.
The satin ribbon is made from high-density polyester with reinforced stitching at the attachment point, ensuring it can support the medal weight without fraying or tearing. The metal ring connector is soldered closed for security, preventing the medal from detaching during wear.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity for a custom peace dove medal?
A: For a brand-new custom design requiring a new mold, the MOQ is 100 – 300 pieces per design. If using an existing medal mold with color/engraving customization, the MOQ is 200 – 500 pieces. For stock designs with no modifications, orders as low as 50 pieces are accepted.
Q: How long does a sample take to arrive?
A: Once artwork is approved, we create the steel mold in 7 – 10 working days, then produce a sample medal in 3 – 5 days. Including express courier shipping (3 – 5 working days to most destinations), the total lead time is typically 13 – 20 working days for sample arrival.
Q: Can I get this medal in different sizes?
A: Yes. The standard peace medal is 55 mm in diameter. We can produce smaller versions from 40 mm (ideal for children's events) up to 80 mm (for grand ceremony awards). Different sizes may require separate molds; please consult with our design team for size options.
Q: Can the colors be changed to match my organization's branding?
A: Absolutely. The gold medal body, blue enamel elements, and royal blue ribbon can all be customized to match your brand colors. We offer any Pantone color for enamel fills, ribbon color, and metal finish. Just provide your Pantone codes or a physical color reference.
Q: Can I have my event name and logo on the medal?
A: Yes. Text and logos can be integrated into the medal face design or engraved on the reverse side. Text height should be at least 1.5 mm for clear legibility. Logo line thickness should be no thinner than 0.2 mm. Vector artwork (AI/EPS/CDR) is preferred for best results.
Q: Is the ribbon securely attached to the medal?
A: Yes. The ribbon passes through a sturdy metal ring that is soldered closed at the top of the medal. The ribbon itself is folded and stitched around a metal bar or directly through the ring with reinforced stitching, ensuring it can bear the full weight of the medal without tearing or detaching.
Q: Is this medal suitable for outdoor ceremonies and events?
A: Yes. The zinc alloy body with gold plating and baked enamel is fully weather-resistant. It can withstand rain, humidity, and temperature variations without rusting, tarnishing, or color fading. The satin polyester ribbon also resists moisture and retains its color.
Q: What payment methods do you accept?
A: We accept T/T bank transfer (30% deposit with order, 70% balance before shipment), L/C at sight for orders above USD $5,000, PayPal for small orders and samples, and Western Union. For first-time collaborations, we recommend T/T as the fastest option.
Q: Can I mix different medal designs in one order?
A: Yes. You can order multiple different medal designs in the same production run. Each unique design requires its own mold (one-time cost), but they can share the same production schedule and shipping. This is cost-effective for multi-tiered events or series collections.
Q: What quality assurance do you provide?
A: Every batch undergoes a 4-step QC process: (1) Raw material inspection — verifying zinc alloy composition and plating quality, (2) In-process inspection — checking mold fill, enamel application, and color consistency during production, (3) Visual inspection of each medal — examining for bubbles, color bleeding, plating defects, or surface imperfections, (4) Assembly inspection — verifying ribbon attachment, ring closure, and packaging quality. Defect rate is kept below 2%.
