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 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 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
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
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
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 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.
