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 Caramel Calf
Caramel calf belongs with brass, walnut and warm light. Against cream suede a yellow-gold piece reads richer than it does in a cool box.
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
Heritage counters, watch dealers, and shops with wood and brass fittings.
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
Real calf varies hide to hide. For a house box used for years, decide now whether that variation is character or inconsistency — it will be visible on a shelf of twenty.
Leather
Real leather has variation in it — a slight difference in grain and in depth of colour from hide to hide. That is the point of it, and it is also the thing to decide before you commit to a house box.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Caramel Calf 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 leather?
Leather holds a deep blind deboss beautifully and takes foil well, though foil on a heavily grained hide will break slightly along the grain — usually read as character rather than fault.
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.
