What a pendant box has to do
A board sized to the drop, with a slit or hook that matches the bail thickness. Too wide and the piece travels; too fine and the bail will not pass.
The moment it is opened
A pendant presented upright reads as jewellery; laid flat it reads as stock.
The mistake we correct most often
A slit cut to a nominal bail size. Bails vary more than the pieces do, and a slit that is a fraction fine will not take the chain at all.
Leather on a pendant box, specifically
A hide board with a fabric-faced front gives the weight of leather and a surface a chain can sit on. All-hide pendant boards look right and hold the chain badly.
What varies between versions
A board that presents the pendant upright, or a flat channel that lays the chain out. Upright reads as jewellery; flat reads as stock.
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.
