Golden Sapphire runs a warm gold into a deep blue, so each print carries a gradient that travels from warm to cool as it rises. The contrast is strong enough to read from across a room, which makes it a good match for lamp bases, awards and pieces meant to be looked at rather than used. Both colours keep the silk gloss, so the surface stays reflective right through the change. It is made in South Africa, which makes a matching second spool straightforward to order when a client comes back and asks for a pair.
