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.
Saffiano leather on a pendant box, specifically
The texture stops a chain sliding on the board, which is the one thing smooth wrapped materials do badly for pendants. It is a small point that shows every time the box is opened.
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 saffiano leather for this
Saffiano is leather finished with a fine cross-hatch press and a protective coating. It is the most hard-wearing leather finish we use.
Putting your logo on saffiano leather
The coating means foil sits on the surface rather than sinking in, so a hot-stamp stays crisp. Deboss is shallower than on plain calf, by the nature of the finish.
Cutting the interior in saffiano leather
Wrapped over a rigid shell, with the cross-hatch running square to the box edge.
Wipe clean. It tolerates handling far better than an untreated hide.
