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.
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

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.

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.
