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.
Saffiano leather on a pendant board, specifically
The texture gives a chain something to sit against, which is the one thing plain leatherette gets wrong on a pendant board. It is a genuine functional gain.
Getting the proportion right
Slit spacing decides whether chains tangle. Pendants with long drops need more clearance between slits than short ones.
How saffiano is applied to a display form
The cross-hatch is embossed into the surface, so it has to be aligned across adjoining faces or the join is obvious. On a curved form the pattern distorts, which is why saffiano suits flat and faceted shapes better than busts and cones.
Where it is used
Counter cases and window boards showing a family of pendants.
Saffiano under case lighting
The texture breaks up reflections, so a saffiano display never shows the hot highlight that plain leatherette does under a spot. It also hides fingerprints, which matters on anything a customer or an assistant touches.
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 saffiano leather
Saffiano is leather pressed with a fine cross-hatch and sealed. The texture catches light along an edge and the coating shrugs off the handling that plain hide would show.
Wipe clean. It is the leather finish to choose for display that is moved, restocked or handled every day.

Frequently asked questions
Can pendant boards be made in our brand colour?
Yes — the saffiano leather 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 saffiano leather a good choice for a pendant board?
The texture gives a chain something to sit against, which is the one thing plain leatherette gets wrong on a pendant board. It is a genuine functional gain.
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 saffiano leather and the same colour across boxes and display, ordered in one run.
