Amongst the military regalia, luxury uniforms, and ceremonial dress, few accessories carry as much prestige as the Bullion badge. These intricately hand-embroidered emblems have been associated with honor, rank, and tradition for centuries. At Skylarkinfantry, we preserve this proud heritage through exceptional craftsmanship and a commitment to excellence.
Each Bullion badge we create is a work of art-developed by skilled artisans who have used time-honored techniques that combine history, luxury, and precision. Whether you are a collector, military enthusiast, or member of a ceremonial organization, our badges represent the pinnacle of quality and authenticity.
What is a bullion badge?
A Bullion badge is an embroidered insignia made from bullion wire, a metallic thread traditionally made of a combination of either silver or gold-plated copper. This wire is spiraled into threads that shimmer under light, giving a special texture and royal finish.
Historically, bullion badges adorned uniforms of officers, dignitaries, and ceremonial guards alike as a representation of authority and honor. To this very day, they continue to embellish uniforms, blazers, hats, and regimental garments for organizations all around the world.
Each badge is crafted at Skylarkinfantry with the same commitment as in conventional regalia workshops of the 18th and 19th centuries to evoke every single detail of authenticity and pride it calls for.
The craftsmanship behind Skylarkinfantry bullion badges.
Skylarkinfantry Bullion Badges start out as highly detailed design sketches and take inspiration from heraldic emblems, military insignia, and ceremonial crests. Once approved, artisans carefully choose the finest materials: bullion wires of various widths, silk threads, velvet bases, and gold/silver metallic cording.
Every stage of production reflects precision and passion.
Design & Tracing – The pattern is hand-drawn and traced onto the base fabric.
Wire Selection: High-quality bullion wire is selected for consistency and shine.
Badging Process: The badge starts to take shape using time honored stitching techniques, including couching and padding.
Detailing & Finishing – Each curve, crown, and scroll is shaped by hand to create dimension and realism.
Mounting & Inspection: After stitching, the badge is trimmed and pressed, then inspected to ensure flawless presentation.
This process may take several hours or even days, depending on the complexity of the design—proof of the craftsmanship that defines Skylarkinfantry’s Bullion badges.
Why Bullion Badges Remain a Symbol of Prestige
There must be a reason why bullion embroidery has survived over many centuries. The metallic luster and durability of bullion wire make these badges timeless. More than their visual appeal, they embody the spirit of honor, courage, and heritage.
The Bullion badges worn by military and ceremonial entities signify far more than position; they represent belonging to a tradition of excellence. Each badge serves as a reminder of the traditions and stories that shape institutions and individuals alike.
We at Skylarkinfantry continue that tradition by creating badges that blend traditional techniques with modern elegance.
