What a bridal set box has to do
Two or three pieces that must read as one set — an engagement ring, a band, sometimes a matching band for the second wearer. Slots have to be sized separately and aligned so the set looks deliberate.
The moment it is opened
It is opened at the counter when the set is collected, and often again on the day. Both times the pieces need to sit level with each other.
The mistake we correct most often
Slots cut to one size. An engagement ring, a matching band and a second band are three different widths, and a set that does not sit level looks assembled rather than made.
Velvet on a bridal set box, specifically
A set of three sits stepped, and velvet lets the steps be cut close together without the edges looking raw. The pile softens the line between one slot and the next, which is what makes a set read as one object rather than three holes.
What varies between versions
Two slots or three, in a row or stepped. Stepped lets the engagement ring sit proud of the bands, which is how most sets are photographed.
Why velvet for this
Velvet is a cut-pile fabric with a longer, softer nap than microfibre suede. It is the traditional jewellery lining and still the one most buyers associate with a gift.
Putting your logo on velvet
Velvet does not hold a hot-stamp the way board or leatherette does. A metal plate, or a lid card, is the more reliable way to carry a logo on a velvet exterior.
Cutting the interior in velvet
A velvet slot closes on the shank under its own spring. The pile hides the cut edge, so the slot can be made slightly generous without looking loose.
Brush with the pile. Avoid pressing a heavy piece into the same spot for months at a time, or the pile takes a set.
