White in lacquer, specifically
A white lacquer is bright and clean and it yellows under UV, unevenly if half the box sits in a window. For a window display specifically, this is a colour that needs rotating.
What white does for the piece
White throws light back at the piece, which lifts diamonds and pale stones and makes a small piece read larger than a dark ground does. It suits bridal and contemporary ranges.
What white shows
Everything — hand oils, denim transfer, the mark of a shelf edge. A white box on an open counter has a working life measured in weeks.
Which metals and stones white suits
Diamonds, pale stones and bridal. It is a poor ground for anything warm or antique, which it makes look like a reproduction.
Why lacquered wood
A wood carcass built up in layers of lacquer and polished back to a piano finish. This is the heaviest and most formal thing we make.
Putting your logo on lacquered wood
Lacquer is engraved, or carries an inlaid metal plate. Foil does not bond reliably to a polished lacquer surface.
Cutting the interior in lacquered wood
The interior is a separate lined tray dropped into the carcass, so the lining material is chosen independently of the shell.
Dust with a dry microfibre cloth. Polish only with a product made for lacquer.
