All about us
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.
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.
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.
What Does Handmade Actually Mean?
At KBN Jewellery, handmade means more than just assembly—it’s about crafting every piece from scratch using raw materials. From cutting pendants and chains by hand to individually hand-stamping letters and symbols, our makers carefully create each personalised jewellery item with skill and care. 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.
Why We Include Cards With Every Order
At KBN Jewellery, we include little cards with every piece to help tell the story behind your jewellery. Whether it’s a birthstone, birthflower, or constellation design, each card shares the unique symbolism behind your selection. We also include sentiment cards with our most-loved pieces like the Cross My Heart and Sun, Moon and Stars necklaces, making them even more meaningful to gift or wear. Every order comes with a Maker Card too – introducing the maker of your piece and linking to our online jewellery care guide. It's all part of creating a personal, thoughtful, and lasting experience.
Why Gold-Fill Jewellery is the Best Everyday Choice

Rose Gold – Why this metal choice is a firm favourite here in the KBN studio
Rose gold jewellery is an underrated yet stunning choice, known for its warm, romantic hue and timeless appeal. Crafted by blending pure gold with copper alloys, it offers both durability and elegance, making it perfect for everyday wear. Versatile enough to pair with both gold and silver pieces, rose gold adds a unique charm to any jewellery collection. Discover why we love working with rose gold and why it’s a must-have for any jewellery lover.
Why Hand Stamping Takes Time to Perfect
Hand stamped jewellery is a timeless way to personalise a piece with names, initials, or meaningful words. Unlike machine engraving, hand stamping is done letter by letter, requiring precision and craftsmanship. This meticulous process ensures each piece is unique, but it also takes time to perfect. For those looking for high-quality, handcrafted jewellery, hand stamped designs offer an artisanal touch that machine engraving simply can’t replicate. Whether you're searching for custom gold fill or sterling silver jewellery, hand stamping adds a personal, handcrafted charm that makes each piece one of a kind.
