Moulding ideas needed, please.

Need help/suggestions, please!

I have three etchings in for framing all of which would have worked beautifully with a discontinued moulding from Wessex (ROB54). I only have two metres left which isn’t nearly enough. It’s about 14mm and dark blue with a black inner.
Any suggestions? I am struggling to think what else is going to work, bar something plain black.
TIA

A customer wants this discontinued moulding?

Silver and blue work well together but that silver can range from almost pewter/gunmetal to shiny silver.
What about a mount and the colour of that?

I thought this moulding would be perfect as it’s a dark blue and black and I knew I had a little in stock so mentioned it to her. Sadly I don’t have enough and I have since discovered it’s discontinued by Wessex. So I am wondering what else to use. She will be fine with whatever I decide but having got it in my head, that this one is perfect....I’m not sure what alternative to use, hence my asking. Normally I can figure it out but I thought I’d ask on here in case someone knew of a similar moulding.

I do agree blue/silver work well together but these are very “dark” etchings and I’m not sure that combo would work. Initially she didn’t want them mounted either as there is a lot of thick watercolour paper. She’s an artist so they tend to be trickier.... :roll:
