Where uniform adornments convey pride, honor, and tradition, few items command the same significance and prestige as a bullion badge. These richly hand-embroidered insignia are more than mere adornments—they’re the emblem of heritage, craftsmanship, and identity. At Skylarkinfantry, we fuse age-old embroidery techniques with contemporary design expertise to craft superior bullion badges of the finest quality and fashion.
What is a Bullion Badge?
A bullion badge is a hand-stitched emblem created from metallic wire threads, usually gold or silver, accompanied by rich silk and velvet backing materials. The term “bullion” was coined to the metallic thread that is employed in the embroidery design, which provides the badge with its prominent raised, glowing texture. Initially created for military wear and ceremonial dress, badges are today extensively worn by regiments, academies, clubs, and high-end fashion houses to express authority and distinction.
Every bullion badge has a story. Whether crest, emblem, or monogram, it is a symbol of honor and service. At Skylarkinfantry, we are serious about this heritage, creating badges that reflect the character of their design with accurate detailing and resilience.
The Heritage of Bullion Badges
The origins of bullion badges go back centuries to military uniforms in Europe, especially in Britain and France. They were worn by officers as well as crack regiments as signs of rank and association. They came to represent excellence not just in the military but in schools, police, naval units, and even upscale fashion houses.
Today, the bullion badge is an ever-lasting piece of jewelry. Its beauty has moved beyond its original military application, becoming part of ceremonial wear, uniforms, blazers, and bespoke fashion items. Skylarkinfantry continues this tradition, marrying traditional craftsmanship with contemporary sophistication to produce badges that reflect excellence and precision.
