What it does
A cufflink stand holds a pair level and facing forward, so they read as a pair rather than as two separate objects lying in a tray. It is a small display doing one specific job.
Leatherette on a cufflink stand, specifically
Two moulded recesses under leatherette give the cleanest pair of seats there is, and the surface wipes, which matters on a stand that sits out on an open counter.
Getting the proportion right
The two seats have to sit at the same height and close enough together to be read as a pair. Fitting varies more than the face does, so the recess behind each seat matters more than the seat itself.
How leatherette is applied to a display form
Leatherette is wrapped and its edges are turned under, so every visible edge is a folded edge rather than a cut one. It will not stretch far, so a tight compound curve is built up in sections with the joins placed where they face away from the customer.
Where it is used
Menswear counters, department store concessions and gift displays, usually as part of a set with a small riser and a tray.
Leatherette under case lighting
It has a slight sheen, so a strong spot will show a highlight along the top of a riser. That is usually flattering on a plain block and unflattering on a curved bust, which is worth knowing before you specify it.
The mistake to avoid
Seats cut at different depths are the common fault, and it is visible from across a counter even when nobody can say why. It is worth checking on the sample with the actual pair in place.
Why leatherette
Leatherette display gives a harder, more architectural line than fabric. The grain catches light along an edge, which defines the shape of a riser or a tray.
Wipes clean, which is why it suits trays that go on a counter and come back.
