Description

A (20 necklace in a )2 luxury box feels cheap. A (5,000 engagement ring in a )1 budget box feels wrong. Your jewelry box is part of the product experience — it should match the price and quality of what’s inside.

- Closure — Magnetic + metal > magnetic > slip lid
- Logo — Embossed + foil > foil > printed
- Custom size — Custom > standard stock size
- Minimum order — Lower MOQ = higher unit price
Common Pricing Mistakes
- Too cheap for the jewelry — Undermines perceived value
- Too expensive for the jewelry — Wastes margin, customers don’t care
- Skipping sample — Thought it would be better quality
- Ignoring MOQ — Wanting 100 boxes at luxury price
- No brand consistency — Mixing box tiers across product lines
