What a tennis bracelet box has to do
A curved seat along the length, and a keeper for the clasp. Without both, the stones turn and the bracelet gathers.
The moment it is opened
Line bracelets ship more often than they are carried home, so the interior matters more than the exterior.
The mistake we correct most often
A flat channel. A line bracelet laid flat rolls, the stones turn face-down and the piece gathers at one end during transit.
Velvet on a tennis bracelet box, specifically
A curved velvet seat holds a line bracelet open without a clip. The pile grips the underside of the settings just enough that the line stays face-up when the box is carried, which is the whole problem with a line bracelet.
What varies between versions
A curved seat that holds the line open, or a coiled channel for a shorter box. The curved seat presents better; the coil ships smaller.
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.
