What a necklace boxe has to do
A necklace box is a large flat format with the chain laid in a channel or a shallow well and the clasp held by a keeper so nothing travels.
Why Ébène Lacquer
A gloss black shell puts nothing between the eye and the stone. Against ivory or cream inside, a diamond reads at its brightest — which is why the highest-value single sales tend to be presented this way.
Getting the interior right
The keeper position is set to the chain length. A box made for 45 cm will not hold an 80 cm rope the same way, and a box with no keeper at all will deliver a knot.
Where it belongs
Single significant sales — a solitaire, an anniversary piece, a retirement watch. It is a presentation box rather than a house box.
The mistake to avoid
A heavy pendant on a fine chain concentrates weight at one point. Where that is the case the well is shaped so the pendant is supported rather than hanging from the chain inside the box.
Worth knowing before you commit
Gloss lacquer shows fingerprints immediately. It is a box to hand over, not a box to stack behind the counter, and staff should be told to handle it by the edges.
Lacquered wood
A wood carcass built up in layers of lacquer and polished back to a piano finish. This is the heaviest and most formal thing we make.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Ébène Lacquer 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 lacquered wood?
Lacquer is engraved, or carries an inlaid metal plate. Foil does not bond reliably to a polished lacquer surface.
What do you need to make a necklace boxe?
The chain length or the range of lengths, the clasp type, and whether a pendant ships on the chain.
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.
