What a signet ring box has to do
A signet shank is two to three times the width of a band, and the face sits proud. Both the slot and the lid clearance change.
The moment it is opened
Signets are heritage pieces and the box is expected to have some weight to it.
The mistake we correct most often
Cutting the slot to a band width. A signet shank is two to three times wider and the face sits proud, so both the slot and the lid clearance change together.
Saffiano leather on a signet ring box, specifically
Saffiano is stiff, so a pad under it stays flat under a heavy signet. The texture also stops the ring sliding when the lid is opened at an angle.
What varies between versions
A flat pad that shows the face, or a slot that holds the shank upright. Engraved signets are usually shown face-up, which argues for the pad.
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.
