I made a netherite retexture showing off how netherite was made originally with diamonds as a base layer, the edges of armor is shown as a bright blue diamond color and the structure of the tools is also diamond while having netherite tips/edges/blades. I also decided to incorporate scratches and impurities of gold in the netherite to show in was made with gold. (netherite block left alone for building purposes)
