What it does
A ramp is an inclined surface that holds a bracelet open and angled towards the viewer, so the clasp and the inside of the band are both visible.
Leather on a bracelet ramp, specifically
A hide ramp grips a bracelet well and it is the material a bracelet lifts off most cleanly. For a high-end counter it is the right specification.
Getting the proportion right
The angle decides how much of the piece is seen. Too steep and the bracelet slides; too shallow and it reads as lying flat.
How leather is applied to a display form
Hide is cut, skived at the edges and wrapped, and grain varies from panel to panel. On a set of risers we cut every piece from the same hide so the set matches, and we say so on the drawing.
Where it is used
Counter cases showing bracelets, cuffs and watch straps.
Leather under case lighting
Hide reflects softly and unevenly, which is what makes it look expensive and what makes it hard to photograph. It also darkens where it is handled, so an open-counter display in hide develops a patina rather than staying new.
The mistake to avoid
A polished or satin covering lets a heavy bracelet creep down the slope. A short nap holds it.
Why leather
Leather-covered display carries the grain and the slight colour variation of hide. On a counter it reads as furniture rather than as a prop, and it ages with the shop rather than staying new.
Keep out of direct window sun, which lightens hide unevenly. A conditioner once a year on a piece that stays on show.

Frequently asked questions
Can bracelet ramps be made in our brand colour?
Yes — the leather is matched to a Pantone reference or a physical swatch, and confirmed on a sample.
What sizes do bracelet ramps come in?
They are made to your dimensions. The angle decides how much of the piece is seen. Too steep and the bracelet slides; too shallow and it reads as lying flat.
Is leather a good choice for a bracelet ramp?
A hide ramp grips a bracelet well and it is the material a bracelet lifts off most cleanly. For a high-end counter it is the right specification.
What goes wrong most often with bracelet ramps?
A polished or satin covering lets a heavy bracelet creep down the slope. A short nap holds it.
Can bracelet ramps be made to match our boxes?
Yes — the same leather and the same colour across boxes and display, ordered in one run.
