What a pendant boxe has to do
A pendant box holds the piece against a board with the chain dressed either side, so the pendant is seen upright rather than lying flat. A slit or a hook near the top of the board takes the bail.
Why Bordeaux Velvet
A black interior makes a stone read brighter than ivory does — there is nothing around it to reflect. Bordeaux outside gives the formality without going to black.
Getting the interior right
The board is sized to the drop of the pendant, not to the box. A short drop on a tall board leaves the piece floating; a long drop on a short board means the pendant rests on the base and the chain slackens.
Where it belongs
Evening and formal presentation, and counters selling coloured stones.
The mistake to avoid
Bail thickness decides whether the slit holds the piece or lets it slide. A heavy bail on a fine slit will not pass; a fine bail in a wide slit will travel.
Worth knowing before you commit
Dark on dark hides the piece if the display is poorly lit. This box needs a light on it.
Velvet
Velvet is a cut-pile fabric with a longer, softer nap than microfibre suede. It is the traditional jewellery lining and still the one most buyers associate with a gift.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Bordeaux Velvet series be made in a different colour?
Yes. The colour shown is the standard for the series; exterior, lining and stitching are all specified per order. Send a Pantone reference or a swatch and we match to it, then confirm on a sample.
What logo methods suit velvet?
Velvet does not hold a hot-stamp the way board or leatherette does. A metal plate, or a lid card, is the more reliable way to carry a logo on a velvet exterior.
What do you need to make a pendant boxe?
The drop from the top of the bail to the bottom of the piece, the bail thickness, and the chain length if the chain ships with it.
Can I see it before ordering?
Yes. A physical pre-production sample is made to your specification and the bulk run is held to the sample you approve.
