All about us
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.
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
Gold-fill jewellery is the perfect everyday choice—durable, hypoallergenic, and affordable. With a thick layer of real gold, it's designed to last longer than gold plating while being safe for sensitive skin. A beautiful and practical option for everyday wear.

Sterling Silver vs. Gold-Fill: Which is Right for You?
Torn between sterling silver and gold-fill jewellery? This guide breaks down the key differences between these two popular metals—covering style, durability, maintenance, and more—to help you decide which is the better fit for your lifestyle and preferences.
Why We Work with Gold Fill
Gold fill jewellery is a premium alternative to gold plating, offering a thick, durable layer of solid gold bonded to a base metal. Unlike plated jewellery, gold fill won’t rub off or tarnish easily, making it perfect for everyday wear. It’s also hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. If you’re searching for high-quality, affordable gold jewellery that lasts, gold fill is an excellent choice. Our collection features handcrafted gold fill necklaces, bracelets, and rings, combining elegance with longevity for timeless, meaningful pieces.
How our pieces are made
Handcrafted necklaces require expert craftsmanship, from selecting high-quality gold fill and sterling silver to hand stamping personalised details. Each necklace is carefully cut, assembled, and polished to create a beautiful, long-lasting piece. Our jewellery is designed to be timeless and perfect for everyday wear. If you're looking for a dainty, handcrafted necklace made with love, our collection offers personalised and meaningful designs to suit any style.
Handmade vs. Mass-Produced Jewellery: Why Handmade Wins Every Time
Handmade jewellery offers superior quality, unique designs, and a personal touch that mass-produced pieces simply can't match. Crafted with care and attention to detail, each handmade piece is one-of-a-kind, making it more special and meaningful. With better craftsmanship and ethically sourced materials, handmade jewellery is a timeless investment that stands out from the rest.
What is handstamping?
At KBN Jewellery, we specialise in hand stamped jewellery, creating personalised pieces that are as unique as the people who wear them. Hand stamping is a traditional metalwork technique where each letter, number, or symbol is hammered individually into sterling silver or gold fill, resulting in jewellery with character and charm. Handmade in Brisbane, Australia, our process ensures every piece is carefully cut, stamped, polished, and assembled with love. Whether you’re looking for a custom necklace, bracelet, or pendant, hand stamped jewellery makes a meaningful keepsake or a thoughtful personalised jewellery gift to treasure forever.
