Why We Can’t Add Letters After Your Piece Has Been Made

Why We Can’t Add Letters After Your Piece Has Been Made

At KBN Jewellery, every personalised piece is hand-stamped with care using traditional techniques. Because this process is permanent and not machine engraved, we are unable to add additional letters or details once your jewellery has been completed and sent. Attempting to re-stamp a finished piece risks damaging the metal or misaligning the design, which would require remaking the entire item. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we avoid creating unnecessary waste. We encourage customers to double-check their stamping details before ordering and reach out with any questions.

Jewellery and Skin Reactions: What’s Normal and When to Be Concerned

Jewellery and Skin Reactions: What’s Normal and When to Be Concerned

Jewellery-related skin reactions are often harmless and temporary, caused by factors like oxidation, moisture, or skin pH. At KBN Jewellery, we use high-quality, hypoallergenic materials such as gold-fill and sterling silver, which are gentle on most skin types and free from nickel. While green marks or mild redness are common and usually not a cause for concern, more severe reactions are rare.

Why We Check Every Jumpring (Yes, Every Single One)

Why We Check Every Jumpring (Yes, Every Single One)

At KBN Jewellery, quality craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why every jumpring on your necklace or bracelet is individually checked and secured by hand before leaving our studio. Jumprings may be small, but they play a big role in keeping your jewellery safe and wearable for years to come. From soldering to polishing, we inspect each piece to ensure durability, strength and peace of mind.

Sustainable Craft: How We Reduce Waste in Our Jewellery Making

Sustainable Craft: How We Reduce Waste in Our Jewellery Making

At KBN Jewellery, we’re committed to reducing waste through sustainable jewellery making. We create made-to-order pieces to avoid overproduction, reuse metal scraps in our studio, and choose high-quality materials like gold fill for lasting wear. Even our packaging is designed with the environment in mind—recyclable, reusable, and low-waste. Thoughtful craftsmanship meets conscious choices at every step.

Why We Don’t Stamp on Both Sides of Your Pendant

Why We Don’t Stamp on Both Sides of Your Pendant

At KBN Jewellery, we hand-stamp each piece to order using traditional tools and techniques. Because of the way we stamp—by hammering directly into the metal—there can be a light imprint on the reverse side of the pendant. For this reason, we don’t offer double-sided stamping, as it may affect the clean finish on the front. Each personalised pendant is carefully stamped, polished, and made to last—crafted with beauty and meaning in mind.

Every jumpring is hand-closed and polished multiple times, with strict quality checks to ensure durability. Our handmade process guarantees unique, high-quality jewellery made in Brisbane, Australia, designed to last a lifetime.

Every order comes with a Maker Card too – introducing the maker of your piece and linking to our online jewellery care guide.
