Teal in velvet, specifically
Teal velvet shifts between blue and green as the light moves across the pile, which is striking and inconsistent. Pile direction has to be specified or two faces of the same box read as two colours.
What teal does for the piece
A blue-green that reads contemporary and photographs strongly, and one of the few saturated colours that does not look seasonal. It is a deliberate brand colour rather than a default.
What teal shows
Little at depth. Like navy and forest green it darkens toward black under warm shop light, so it should be approved under the lighting the shop actually uses.
Which metals and stones teal suits
Silver, white gold and pale stones, which it lifts. ⛔ Not behind turquoise, aquamarine or blue-green tourmaline, where the ground takes the stone's colour.
Why velvet
Velvet is a cut-pile fabric with a longer, softer nap than microfibre suede. It is the traditional jewellery lining and still the one most buyers associate with a gift.
Putting your logo on velvet
Velvet does not hold a hot-stamp the way board or leatherette does. A metal plate, or a lid card, is the more reliable way to carry a logo on a velvet exterior.
Cutting the interior in velvet
A velvet slot closes on the shank under its own spring. The pile hides the cut edge, so the slot can be made slightly generous without looking loose.
Brush with the pile. Avoid pressing a heavy piece into the same spot for months at a time, or the pile takes a set.
