The Craft of Surface

Character in every curve

In Velvet Metal, form and finish work together. We develop each detail with your collection in mind, from the outline of a single piece to the consistency of a matching set.

Custom Development

Make the design your own

Bring us your preferred motif, category and target market. We will review the design with you and confirm materials, dimensions and construction for your order.

Style reference Your direction Develop with NOVA Confirm at sampling

Shape & scale We adapt the motif and proportions to your earring, necklace or ring brief. Overall dimensions, profile and intended wearing position.
Long drop earrings illustrating length and movement
Length & movement We review the drop, connection points and balance of the design with you. Drop length, fittings, item weight and comfort on the sample.
Winged earrings showing placement of clear stone accents

Coordinated pieces We carry one design language across matching pieces for your collection. Shared motif proportions, chain length and finish across the set.

Surface & Colour

Choose the finish that fits

Use our styles to explore texture, colour and contrast. We confirm the finish on a physical sample; metal colour alone does not identify the base material or plating thickness.

Style reference Your direction Develop with NOVA Confirm at sampling
Twisted ring showing textured gold-tone surfaces
Texture & polish We review which areas should read as textured and which should catch the light. Surface pattern, polish level and transitions on the physical sample.
Floral earrings showing gold-tone petals and contrasting details
Metal colour We develop your preferred colour direction around the selected material and design. Base material, colour sample and plating specification before production.
Ginkgo ring showing the visible boundary between gold and silver tones
Two-tone placement We agree where the two colours meet and how they continue across matching styles. Colour boundaries and consistency between the approved pieces.

Craft in Production

From motif to finished piece

NOVA brings design development, sampling and production together around the piece you approve. You can review the form and finish before your collection moves forward.
