What it does
A flat board with slits or hooks along the top, holding several pendants side by side at the same height so a range is read as a range.
Leatherette on a pendant board, specifically
A chain slides on leatherette. A pendant board here needs a shallow channel or a fabric-faced front — plain leatherette is the wrong surface for a chain.
Getting the proportion right
Slit spacing decides whether chains tangle. Pendants with long drops need more clearance between slits than short ones.
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
Counter cases and window boards showing a family of pendants.
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
A board filled to capacity reads as stock rather than as display. Leaving every third slit empty usually presents better.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can pendant boards be made in our brand colour?
Yes — the leatherette is matched to a Pantone reference or a physical swatch, and confirmed on a sample.
What sizes do pendant boards come in?
They are made to your dimensions. Slit spacing decides whether chains tangle. Pendants with long drops need more clearance between slits than short ones.
Is leatherette a good choice for a pendant board?
A chain slides on leatherette. A pendant board here needs a shallow channel or a fabric-faced front — plain leatherette is the wrong surface for a chain.
What goes wrong most often with pendant boards?
A board filled to capacity reads as stock rather than as display. Leaving every third slit empty usually presents better.
Can pendant boards be made to match our boxes?
Yes — the same leatherette and the same colour across boxes and display, ordered in one run.
