Vickerman Black Velvet Ribbon | Gold Trim and Reverse | 2.5" x 10 yards

Vickerman Black Velvet Ribbon with Wired Gold and Reverse.

There are few combinations as timeless as black velvet and gold.

This 2.5 inch wired ribbon pairs plush black velvet with a metallic gold reverse and a fine gold wired edge. The contrast is what makes it so beautiful. Shape it into a bow or allow the ribbon to twist naturally through greenery and little glimpses of gold appear against the deep black velvet.

Dramatic without being tied to any one season, which makes this an exceptionally useful ribbon to keep on hand. Black can be moody, formal, festive or wonderfully traditional depending entirely on what surrounds it.

Why We Chose It

We chose this one because it can become almost anything.

Black velvet gives a design weight and contrast. It can make autumn colors feel richer, turn Halloween in a more elegant direction and bring wonderful depth to Christmas greenery.

Then there is the gold backing. It changes the ribbon completely. Instead of a solid black bow, every turned loop and curling tail reveals a little gold underneath.

We especially love ribbons that can move through several seasons rather than belonging to one particular holiday. This is exactly that kind of ribbon.

How We’d Style It

For autumn, pair it with tobacco brown, rust, burgundy, plum, moss and deep green. We would use it among dried hydrangeas, magnolia leaves, branches, pears, figs, pumpkins and richly colored foliage. The black gives all those earthy fall colors wonderful definition while the gold picks up warm brass and burnished autumn tones.

For Halloween, skip the novelty decorations and let black velvet establish the mood. Pair it with aubergine, oxblood, dark florals, branches, antique brass, candlelight and perhaps a little copper or jeweled trim. It can feel mysterious and theatrical without becoming costume like.

For a Country House Christmas, black is unexpectedly wonderful. Use it with tartan, forest green, burgundy, deep red, antique gold and natural greenery. Against cedar, pine and magnolia, the black velvet creates depth while the gold reverse brings warmth. Add collected ornaments, brass candlesticks and old fashioned glass for a Christmas that feels rich and established.

It also works beautifully for an equestrian inspired Christmas with leather tones, hunt green, tartan, brass and traditional red.

For New Year's and winter entertaining, let the black and gold speak for themselves. Use it with candlelight, metallic details, glassware and winter greenery for something festive that still feels sophisticated.

And there is no reason to pack it away with the holiday decorations. Black velvet can be beautiful throughout the year on wreaths, floral arrangements, dramatic bows and decorative objects around the home.
