What it does
A board with a row of cut slots that holds several rings or pendants in a line at one height.
Metal on a multi-slot board, specifically
A metal slotted board is a grid rather than a solid, so pieces are seen against the case behind them. It suits a modern case and it is wrong for anything that needs a background.
Getting the proportion right
Slot count and spacing decide whether the row reads as a set or as a price band. Close spacing groups pieces; wide spacing separates them.
How metal display is made
Metal display is formed and plated or powder-coated rather than covered. The finish is decided at the plating stage and cannot be adjusted afterwards, so the sample matters more here than on any wrapped material.
Where it is used
Counter cases showing a family of similar pieces.
Metal under case lighting
A polished metal display throws hard reflections and will bounce a spot straight back at the customer. Brushed and matt finishes are the usual specification in a lit case; polish belongs in a window where the light is controlled.
The mistake to avoid
Boards hold many pieces, which makes it easy to over-fill a case. The board is a tool for showing a family, not for storing stock.
Why metal
Metal display — brass, gold finish, black or silver — gives the thinnest possible support. A metal stand almost disappears, which is the point: the piece appears to float.
Wipe with a dry cloth. A brushed finish hides handling better than a polished one.

Frequently asked questions
Can multi-slot boards be made in our brand colour?
Yes — the metal is matched to a Pantone reference or a physical swatch, and confirmed on a sample.
What sizes do multi-slot boards come in?
They are made to your dimensions. Slot count and spacing decide whether the row reads as a set or as a price band. Close spacing groups pieces; wide spacing separates them.
Is metal a good choice for a multi-slot board?
A metal slotted board is a grid rather than a solid, so pieces are seen against the case behind them. It suits a modern case and it is wrong for anything that needs a background.
What goes wrong most often with multi-slot boards?
Boards hold many pieces, which makes it easy to over-fill a case. The board is a tool for showing a family, not for storing stock.
Can multi-slot boards be made to match our boxes?
Yes — the same metal and the same colour across boxes and display, ordered in one run.
