Bullion Badges

Bullion badges are a traditional, high-status form of insignia made using fine metallic wire, typically in gold, silver or coloured bullion. They are recognised for their distinctive raised, lustrous finish and are widely associated with formal military, ceremonial and organisational dress.

Hand or machine-worked with metallic threads, bullion badges offer a rich, premium appearance that stands apart from standard embroidery or woven construction. The reflective quality of the wire gives depth and presence, making them particularly suitable for blazer badges, officers’ insignia and formal uniforms.
