Burgundy in suede, specifically
Suede reads burgundy flatter and more modern than velvet, without the heritage association. For a brand that wants the colour but not the tradition it carries, this is the usual answer.
What burgundy does for the piece
The traditional jeweller's ground. It is warm, so yellow gold sits beautifully on it, and it reads as established before anything is opened — which is both the reason to choose it and the reason it looks like every other jeweller.
What burgundy shows
Little, because it is mid-dark and warm. It is one of the more forgiving colours for a counter box.
Which metals and stones burgundy suits
Yellow gold above all. Platinum and white gold can look slightly cold against it.
Why microfibre suede
Microfibre suede is a woven synthetic with a short, dense nap. It has the hand of real suede without the shading and water-marking that real suede brings, and it does not shed onto a polished piece.
Putting your logo on microfibre suede
Suede takes a hot-stamped or blind-debossed logo cleanly, because the nap compresses and holds the impression. Fine serifs need a slightly heavier die than they would on board, or the nap springs back and softens the edge.
Cutting the interior in microfibre suede
Inserts are cut a fraction under size on each face; the pile closes the gap and grips the piece without a visible squeeze.
Brush with the nap, never against it. Marks from a fingernail lift with a soft brush. It does not craze or crack with age.
