What it does
A ring stand holds one ring upright and alone. Rings are small and they disappear on a flat tray; a stand gives a single ring the presence of a larger piece.
Leatherette on a ring stand, specifically
A leatherette slot is smooth, so it holds a ring by shape rather than friction. That means the slot has to be cut to the shank exactly; there is no give to take up an error.
Getting the proportion right
A slot holds a band upright by the shank; a cone or a finger form holds it the way it sits on a hand. A slot is neater in a row; a cone reads more naturally on its own.
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, window centrepieces and single-piece presentation.
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 stand cut for a thin band will not take a signet. If a case shows both, use two stand types rather than one compromise.
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 ring stands 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 ring stands come in?
They are made to your dimensions. A slot holds a band upright by the shank; a cone or a finger form holds it the way it sits on a hand. A slot is neater in a row; a cone reads more naturally on its own.
Is leatherette a good choice for a ring stand?
A leatherette slot is smooth, so it holds a ring by shape rather than friction. That means the slot has to be cut to the shank exactly; there is no give to take up an error.
What goes wrong most often with ring stands?
A stand cut for a thin band will not take a signet. If a case shows both, use two stand types rather than one compromise.
Can ring stands be made to match our boxes?
Yes — the same leatherette and the same colour across boxes and display, ordered in one run.
