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.
Microfibre suede on a pendant box, specifically
A suede board reads flatter than velvet and lets a bright pendant carry the eye. Where the piece is small and the box is being photographed, that flatness helps.
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 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.
