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.
Microfibre suede on a engagement ring box, specifically
Microfibre suede has a shorter, more uniform nap than velvet, so a ring slot cut in it holds its edge sharply. Where a brief asks for a crisp, modern interior rather than a soft one, this is usually the answer.
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 microfibre suede for this
Microfibre suede is a woven synthetic with a short, dense nap. It has the hand of real suede without the shading and water-marking that real suede brings, and it does not shed onto a polished piece.
Putting your logo on microfibre suede
Suede takes a hot-stamped or blind-debossed logo cleanly, because the nap compresses and holds the impression. Fine serifs need a slightly heavier die than they would on board, or the nap springs back and softens the edge.
Cutting the interior in microfibre suede
Inserts are cut a fraction under size on each face; the pile closes the gap and grips the piece without a visible squeeze.
Brush with the nap, never against it. Marks from a fingernail lift with a soft brush. It does not craze or crack with age.
