What a bangle box has to do
A bangle is rigid and round, so it needs a circular well or a raised centre post that holds the ring of it upright. Laid flat in a rectangular cavity it rolls and knocks its own edge.
The moment it is opened
Bangles are often bought in pairs or worn stacked, so a box that takes two side by side sells better than one that takes a single.
The mistake we correct most often
A rectangular cavity. A bangle is a rigid ring — laid in a rectangle it rolls onto its own edge and knocks against the wall of the box.
Lacquered wood on a bangle box, specifically
A turned circular well in a rigid shell is the cleanest bangle interior possible, and lacquer is the only material here that lets the well be part of the structure rather than an insert.
What varies between versions
A circular well, or a raised centre post the bangle sits over. The post holds it upright and shows the profile; the well is quieter.
Why lacquered wood for this
A wood carcass built up in layers of lacquer and polished back to a piano finish. This is the heaviest and most formal thing we make.
Putting your logo on lacquered wood
Lacquer is engraved, or carries an inlaid metal plate. Foil does not bond reliably to a polished lacquer surface.
Cutting the interior in lacquered wood
The interior is a separate lined tray dropped into the carcass, so the lining material is chosen independently of the shell.
Dust with a dry microfibre cloth. Polish only with a product made for lacquer.
