What it does
A riser lifts a single pendant off the tray so it is read on its own. It is the simplest display piece and the one that does most work in a crowded case — it creates a level, and levels are what stop a case looking flat.
Leatherette on a pendant riser, specifically
A wrapped leatherette riser has folded edges rather than cut ones, which is why it looks more finished than a fabric riser at the same cost. It is the most common riser we make.
Getting the proportion right
Risers work in sets of two or three heights. One riser on its own is a stand; three at different heights is a composition.
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 where several pieces compete for attention.
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
Too many heights in one case reads as clutter rather than as depth. Three is usually the limit in a single sightline.
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 risers 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 risers come in?
They are made to your dimensions. Risers work in sets of two or three heights. One riser on its own is a stand; three at different heights is a composition.

What goes wrong most often with pendant risers?
