What a engagement ring box has to do
The slot has to hold the shank and the lid has to clear the setting. Setting height is the measurement most briefs leave out.
The moment it is opened
It is opened once, in front of someone, and often on camera. That is a different brief from a counter box.
The mistake we correct most often
Briefs give the ring size and leave out the setting height. A slot cut to the shank alone means the lid closes on the stone. We work from the height of the setting, not the size of the finger.
Leather on a engagement ring box, specifically
Hide varies from panel to panel, and a ring box is small enough that a single panel covers it, so the box is consistent even when the hide is not. That makes a ring box the easiest thing to make well in leather.
What varies between versions
A single slot or a slot with a hidden compartment for a second band; a lid that stands open at ninety degrees for a photograph or one that falls shut. Both decisions are made before the die is cut.
Why leather for this
Real leather has variation in it — a slight difference in grain and in depth of colour from hide to hide. That is the point of it, and it is also the thing to decide before you commit to a house box.
Putting your logo on leather
Leather holds a deep blind deboss beautifully and takes foil well, though foil on a heavily grained hide will break slightly along the grain — usually read as character rather than fault.
Cutting the interior in leather
Leather is wrapped over a rigid shell. The shell defines the geometry; the leather gives the surface.
Keep out of direct sun. A leather conditioner once a year on a display piece; nothing at all on a box that ships.
