What it does
A board with a row of cut slots that holds several rings or pendants in a line at one height.
Leather on a multi-slot board, specifically
Every slot in a hide board is skived and turned by hand. It is slow work, and it produces the best-looking slotted board there is.
Getting the proportion right
Slot count and spacing decide whether the row reads as a set or as a price band. Close spacing groups pieces; wide spacing separates them.
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 a family of similar pieces.
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
Boards hold many pieces, which makes it easy to over-fill a case. The board is a tool for showing a family, not for storing stock.
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.
