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.
Lacquered wood on a pendant board, specifically
A wooden board needs a facing where the chain lies, or the chain slides and the finish marks. The wood is the structure; the facing is the working surface.
Getting the proportion right
Slit spacing decides whether chains tangle. Pendants with long drops need more clearance between slits than short ones.
How wood display is made
Wood is machined and finished rather than covered, so the shape is cut from solid or from a veneered core and then sealed. That makes tolerances tighter than on a wrapped form, and it makes changes after tooling more expensive.
Where it is used
Counter cases and window boards showing a family of pendants.
Wood under case lighting
A satin-sealed wood surface throws a soft reflection that reads warm, which flatters gold and works against platinum. A matt seal removes most of that and is the safer specification for a mixed-metal case.
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 lacquered wood
Lacquered wood display has weight and it makes a sound when it is set down. It reads as furniture rather than as a prop.
Dust dry. A gloss lacquer shows fingerprints under window lighting; a satin lacquer does not.

Frequently asked questions
Can pendant boards be made in our brand colour?
Yes — the lacquered wood 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 lacquered wood a good choice for a pendant board?
A wooden board needs a facing where the chain lies, or the chain slides and the finish marks. The wood is the structure; the facing is the working surface.
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 lacquered wood and the same colour across boxes and display, ordered in one run.
