Navy in leatherette, specifically
Flat, consistent navy that repeats across runs. It also takes gold foil beautifully, which is the most common navy specification we make.
What navy does for the piece
Navy carries the authority of black with more warmth, and it flatters yellow gold more than black does. It is also kinder to silver, which a true black can leave looking grey.
What navy shows
Less than black, because there is less contrast for dust to sit against. Under warm shop light a deep navy reads as black at arm's length, which is the thing to check before committing.
Which metals and stones navy suits
Yellow gold and silver. Gold foil works on navy; silver foil has too little contrast to read.
Why leatherette (pu)
Leatherette is a polyurethane skin over a woven backing. It gives the grain and the weight of leather at a consistent colour, batch to batch — which matters when a jeweller is reordering a house box for years.
Putting your logo on leatherette (pu)
Leatherette is the most forgiving surface for a logo. Hot-stamp, blind deboss and metal plate all sit well on it, and a fine typeface holds its detail.
Cutting the interior in leatherette (pu)
The skin is wrapped over a rigid shell, so corners stay square and the lid closes on a defined line rather than a soft one.
Wipe with a barely damp cloth. Avoid solvent cleaners, which can lift the surface.
