About this design

What the design shows

A black spade with a gold double rim sits between two green laurel branches. Inside the suit, gold curls rise from both lower lobes and turn inward beneath a narrow central gold motif. A small gold diamond opens the center of the crown, while a second diamond decorates the flared foot. The deep black interior gives the gold scrollwork a strong contrast, and a thin white highlight follows the inner lower edge of each lobe. On each side, a curved laurel stem climbs from the lower corners toward the crown. Individual leaves alternate outward and inward along the stems, painted in dark and mid green with black outlines; round gold berries punctuate the branches. The foliage does not overlap the sharp crown, leaving a clean top point. The preview centers the horizontal composition high on the chest at about palm size, laurel tips reaching toward both collarbones.

Placement

Placement and size

It is placed at the upper chest in the preview, with the crown under the throat and the laurel tips spreading toward the collarbones. At palm size, the individual leaves and berries remain distinct. The upper back, sternum, broad thigh, or shoulder blade offers similar room for the paired branches. On a narrow forearm, shorten the laurel arcs before scaling down the gold curls. The smallest berry dots and inner diamonds will lose clarity first.

Patchwork

Building it into a patchwork

The black center, gold trim, and green leaves make this a medium-to-heavy crest suited to a central chest or back position. It wants open skin at both outer laurel edges so the leaf tips stay separate. A tiny gold crown, green olive sprig, or black key can extend the group below it. Keep neighboring work simpler and avoid another curved wreath touching either branch, where the paired leaf silhouettes would blend.
