What it does
A puck is a low cylindrical seat with a slot across the top. It holds a ring upright at counter level, taking almost no vertical space.
Leather on a ring puck, specifically
A hide puck is small enough to be cut from an offcut, which makes it the cheapest way to put real leather on a counter. Order a set from one hide so they match.
Getting the proportion right
Puck height decides whether a row of rings reads as a line or as a group. Uniform height reads as a set; varied heights read as a composition.
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
Low cases, flat trays and rows where height is limited.
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 slot cut for one shank width will not hold a range. For a mixed row, vary the slot rather than the puck.
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 ring pucks 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 ring pucks come in?
They are made to your dimensions. Puck height decides whether a row of rings reads as a line or as a group. Uniform height reads as a set; varied heights read as a composition.
Is leather a good choice for a ring puck?
A hide puck is small enough to be cut from an offcut, which makes it the cheapest way to put real leather on a counter. Order a set from one hide so they match.
What goes wrong most often with ring pucks?
A slot cut for one shank width will not hold a range. For a mixed row, vary the slot rather than the puck.
Can ring pucks be made to match our boxes?
Yes — the same leather and the same colour across boxes and display, ordered in one run.
