Sizing Guide
By LuxoPacks Production Team October 2026
A ring, a chain, a bangle and a watch each need a different footprint, height and insert. This guide gives the common interior sizes we use as starting points for each piece, shows how to measure your jewelry, and lists what to send so a factory can size the box before sampling.
A rigid presentation box with a velvet insert; the insert, not the outer box, decides how the piece sits.
Common jewelry box sizes by piece
Read the listed dimensions as interior starting points, not guaranteed fits for every item in the category. Two rings or pendants with similar overall size can need different support around their settings and clasps. Include the complete insert and presentation position when comparing the chart with your piece.
| Box | Interior (mm) | Interior (in) | Typical use | Formats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ring box | 50 × 50 × 40 mm | 2.0 × 2.0 × 1.6 in | Single ring in a slotted pillow or velvet slot | Ring boxes |
| Earring / pendant box | 90 × 90 × 35 mm | 3.5 × 3.5 × 1.4 in | Studs on a pierced card, or a short-chain pendant | Presentation boxes |
| Necklace box | 180 × 180 × 40 mm | 7.1 × 7.1 × 1.6 in | Flat format keeps the chain straight on a pad | Magnetic rigid boxes |
| Bracelet / bangle box | 100 × 100 × 70 mm | 3.9 × 3.9 × 2.8 in | Bangle or cuff on a pillow or C-clip | Bracelet boxes |
| Watch box | 110 × 110 × 80 mm | 4.3 × 4.3 × 3.1 in | Watch on a cushion that wraps the strap | Watch boxes |
Presentation and drawer box sizes
Size a set from its arranged layout. Leave the necessary separation and removal access between pieces instead of adding nominal widths together. Check that chains remain in their intended paths and that opening the drawer or lid does not pull on the jewelry.
- Velvet presentation box: pendant 90 × 90 × 40 mm · set 180 × 140 × 45 mm · bridal 220 × 180 × 55 mm.
- Leather jewelry drawer box: mini 120 × 90 × 60 mm · classic 180 × 130 × 80 mm · grand 240 × 170 × 90 mm.
How to measure each piece
| Piece | What to measure | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Ring | Band width and the height of the stone or setting above the band | Slot width in the ring pillow and the lid height |
| Earrings | Drop length and post length; studs or hooks | Card or pad size and the depth behind the card |
| Necklace / pendant | Chain length laid flat, pendant size and thickness | Flat box footprint and where the hook or slot sits |
| Bracelet / bangle | Outer diameter and height of a bangle; length of a chain bracelet | Square or long box, and pillow or C-clip size |
| Watch | Case diameter and thickness, strap width | Cushion size and box height |
If the range has several sizes, measure the largest piece. Sending a physical sample of each piece is the most reliable way to have slots cut to fit.
Interior, exterior and clearance
Give the factory the interior size or the piece itself. The outside size is the interior plus the board and covering on each side, so two boxes with the same interior can differ on the outside depending on the wrap. A worked example from our size guide: a product measuring 90 × 60 × 30 mm with 3 mm clearance on each side needs a minimum interior cavity of 96 × 66 × 36 mm. Velvet, foam and pads take space, so confirm the final dieline and a loaded sample before production.
Board: for boxes up to 150 mm on the longest side, 1200 gsm greyboard (about 2.0 mm) keeps a small jewelry box rigid without adding cost; larger set boxes move to heavier board.
Choosing the insert
- Rings: a slotted ring pillow or velvet ring slot, single or double.
- Earrings: a card with pierced holes or a flat velvet pad.
- Necklaces: a pad with a hook or slot that holds the chain straight.
- Bracelets and bangles: a pillow or C-clip.
- Watches: a cushion that wraps the strap.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard size of a ring box?
About 50 × 50 × 40 mm interior (2.0 × 2.0 × 1.6 in) is a common starting point for a single ring. The final size depends on the ring, the insert and the covering, and is confirmed on a physical sample.
What size box do I need for a necklace?
A flat box of about 180 × 180 × 40 mm interior (7.1 × 7.1 × 1.6 in) lets a chain lie straight on a pad. A pendant on a short chain often fits a 90 × 90 × 35 mm box.
What size box fits a bangle or bracelet?
About 100 × 100 × 70 mm interior (3.9 × 3.9 × 2.8 in) is a common bangle starting point. Long chain and tennis bracelets can use a longer, flatter box.
Do I give the factory the inside or outside size?
Give the inside (interior) size, or better, the piece itself and its insert. The outside size is the interior plus the board and covering on each side, and the factory works it out from the dieline.
How much clearance should a jewelry box have?
A worked example on our size guide uses 3 mm on each side: a 90 × 60 × 30 mm product needs at least a 96 × 66 × 36 mm cavity. Inserts, velvet and pads can need more, so check a loaded sample.
