Lace design areas
Start with how the metallic element appears in the lace design.
Identify the decorative area carrying the metallic effect, then discuss the available construction and reference information.
Borders
Metallic visual accents used within wider decorative border designs.
Floral Patterns
Metallic elements incorporated into floral lace artwork.
Geometric Patterns
Metallic details used within structured geometric designs.
Motifs
Decorative metallic or zari elements incorporated into individual motifs.
Highlight Areas
Selected portions of the lace given a stronger metallic visual presence.
Repeating Decorative Patterns
Metallic details repeated through a broader lace composition.
Decorative Trims
Metallic effects incorporated into relevant decorative trim or narrow-textile requirements.
Visual direction
What metallic effect should the lace create?
Use a colour or reference to communicate the intended direction. Final colour and finish remain part of the requirement discussion.
Bright Gold
A more visible gold direction within the decorative pattern.
Antique Gold
A softer, muted gold appearance.
Silver
A clean silver-toned metallic direction.
Copper
A warm copper-toned metallic direction.
Rose Gold
A warm rose-toned metallic direction.
Subtle Metallic
A restrained metallic accent within the lace design.
Strong Metallic Highlight
A more prominent metallic element within selected areas.
Custom Shade / Reference
Begin from an existing lace, yarn, trim, artwork or shade reference.
Start with the lace design
Know the lace design you want, but not the exact yarn specification?
You can begin with the lace or trim design, metallic area, colour direction and available reference. If the yarn construction, denier, twist, TPM, machine or other process details are already known, include them. If not, share the information currently available for technical discussion.

Lace application FAQ
Questions for preparing a lace yarn enquiry.
Do I need to know the exact yarn construction before contacting Suvarnatantu?
No. You can begin with the lace or trim design, metallic effect, colour direction and available yarn or textile reference.
What information should I provide for a lace yarn enquiry?
Share the lace or end product, design type, metallic area, colour direction, desired visual effect, known yarn information, available reference and approximate quantity.
Can I start from an existing lace or yarn sample?
Yes. An existing yarn, lace, trim, fabric, artwork, photograph, shade or technical reference can help begin the requirement discussion.
What if I do not know denier or TPM?
Provide the information you already have. Technical variables can be discussed after the application and reference requirement are clearer.
Do you guarantee compatibility with my lace machine or process?
Machine and process compatibility should be reviewed against the specific application, yarn construction and production requirement. Share the available machine or process details during technical discussion.
Can I request a sample before discussing bulk quantity?
Use the Sample Request route to begin sample discussion, then continue toward RFQ once the requirement is better defined.
