Custom made medals are not modern inventions. The Victorian Cross, a British medal was introduced during the Crimean War in 1856 as an award to soldiers who showed extreme bravery during the course of a battle. The achievement awards were crafted from bronze that came from captured armour. Other medals of the time were that of the Distinguished Service Cross, and later the Star awarded for participation in the First World War.
Heroism has always been associated with the military awards, just as top achievement is today associated with custom made medals whether in sports, academics, cultural activities, and the arts. More affordable than trophies the custom made medals can be awarded to all the team members or participants of events such as marathons.

Remember the good old days when you were still awarded for academic achievement with lapel badges? The same prestige that was associated with wearing lapel badges back then still applies today. It is not only school children that can be awarded for outstanding sport, cultural or academic achievements with lapel badges, but also corporate employees. Apart from being used as rewards, quality lapel badges can also be used to identify staff members or to show their position or medical rank.
The uses are endless and when stylishly done, will be worn with pride. Hotel staff, restaurant personnel, medical personnel, librarians, sales people and more are all candidates for wearing appropriate lapel badges which are available right here at Trophy and Medal Boutique and which can be customised according to your requirements.
