Damascene

Fine jewelry

The dressed-up one.

Andada Pro Medium over Jost on a blush ground, plum where the moss was, and every product image cropped square. Built for a catalog where the object is small, the price is not, and the photograph is the whole argument.

The Damascene home page: an aquamarine and white-topaz necklace laid on pale blossom, with "Colored stones, set in pavé leaves" set half in plum italic, a short paragraph and a Shop the collection button, under a centered wordmark.

Color

The Damascene palette.

Blush, shell and a deeper rose for the papers. Wine and near-black under them. Plum carries the links on the light schemes, and gold takes the dark ones. Those are the two metals the catalog is already full of. A sixth scheme, Editorial, reuses the lightest blush and moves the headings and buttons to plum, for bands that want to be quieter still.

Type & shape

Andada Pro Medium on Jost.

Andada Pro at medium weight. It is a sturdy text serif with calligraphic detail, set large enough for that detail to read. It is heavier and wider than a display serif would be here, and that is the point. A jewelry page is mostly white, so the headings have to hold it. Jost keeps the running text plain and geometric, giving the serif something to work against.

Body

Jost

Every price, size chart, care note and shipping line on the storefront is set in this face. It is the one a shopper reads the longest, so it is chosen for a paragraph rather than for a headline.

Shape

Square corners, square product images

Every corner at zero, on media, cards, inputs and buttons alike. Product images crop square, so a ring reads the same size as a chain beside it and the grid stays even the whole way down.

The live store
