What a charm bracelet box has to do
Depth at the deepest charm, and a channel wide enough that charms hang in one direction rather than catching.
The moment it is opened
Charm customers return, so the box is often sized for a collection that will grow.
The mistake we correct most often
Depth measured at the bracelet rather than at the deepest charm. The lid then presses on one charm and marks it.
Velvet on a charm bracelet box, specifically
Charms sink slightly into velvet, which stops them clattering against each other in transit. Depth still has to be cut at the deepest charm — the pile gives a millimetre or two, not more.
What varies between versions
A channel that lets charms hang one way, or a flat pad with the bracelet laid open. The channel suits a full bracelet; the pad suits one being built up.
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.
