Political jewelry goes beyond ordinary campaign buttons to express a fashion sensibility and make a statement. During an election, what voters pin to their lapels or place on their bodies tells people what they believe and whose side they are on. Every four years, supporters donning political jewelry make their presidential preferences known.
