A stone age background of ceremonial uniforms, traditional regalia, and auspicious fashion adornments defines the era of the Bullion badge as an eternal symbol of excellence, dignity, and artistry. At Skylarkinfantry, we proudly retain this tradition by crafting Bullion badges that demonstrate sophistication, heritage, and exquisite embroidery.
Our craftsmen blend centuries of embroidery heritage with contemporary accuracy to produce pieces that are as meaningful as they are stunning. Whether for military uniform, fraternal orders, clubs, schools, or designer fashion houses, every Bullion badge represents a history of identity and pride.
What is a Bullion Badge?
A Bullion badge is a hand-embroidered badge created with fine metallic threads—usually gold and silver wire, at times combined with silk or colored threads. The precious metal threads are called “bullion,” and from these, the badge derives its characteristic shine and raised appearance.
Whereas machine-manufactured patches may be quick, cheap, and brittle, Bullion badges are lovingly hand-crafted by master embroiderers, employing methods passed down through centuries of military and ceremonial history. The end product is an emblem of depth, of dimension, of radiance, better than any mass-manufactured substitute.
Each Bullion badge at Skylarkinfantry is carefully hand-stitched with a focus on precision in each curve, crest, and crown.
Historical Origins of Bullion Embroidery
Bullion embroidery owes its origins to the military traditions of Europe. From the Napoleonic times to the British regimental blues, Bullion badges reflected rank, courage, and loyalty. Golden threads embroidered on officers’ caps, tunics, and epaulettes in the form of sophisticated insignias.
This art found its way over time to all parts of the world—embraced by naval units, air squadrons, and ceremonial bands. Even today, Bullion badge spells authority and elegance.
At Skylarkinfantry, we pay tribute to that heritage. Our artisans research historical insignias, guaranteeing accuracy in design and construction. Each badge represents the same dignity that graced officers’ uniforms and leaders’ shirts throughout history.
Handcraftsmanship That Makes Skylarkinfantry
Each Skylarkinfantry Bullion badge is a work of handcraft excellence. We employ only the best quality bullion wire, goldwork yarn, and velvet or felt backing to produce emblems that exude excellence.
The process consists of several stages:
Design Accuracy: Our designers work closely with clients to refine insignias according to regimental or organizational norms.
Choice of Wire: Based on the required luster, we employ gold, silver, copper, or antique-finish wires.
Hand Stitching: Skilled craftsmen couch the wires over designs meticulously, ensuring even curves and uniform height.
Finishing: The badge is cut, edged, and backed after embroidery to make it more durable.
Each badge undergoes a careful quality inspection prior to shipping — a testament to Skylarkinfantry’s dedication to excellence.
