What a set boxe has to do
A set box holds a full suite in one opening — necklace, earrings, ring and often a bracelet — each in its own seat so nothing touches anything else.
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
A suite tray is drawn to the specific set, not chosen from a list. The layout decides which piece leads the eye and how the set reads when the lid opens.
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
Pieces of very different depths do not sit well in the same plane. Where a ring and a cuff are in the same suite, either the seats are cut to different depths or the interior is tiered.
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 set boxe?
A photograph of the pieces laid out the way you want them presented. The measurements follow from the layout.
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.
