hmmm never photographed jewlery before but what I would do is put the jewlery on a piece of black cloth and light it at an angle *IE the light isn't directly above it, but actually behind it a bit* and then take a picture without a flash. try that   |

...try a light misting of dulling spray or use one of those anti-perspirants with powder in them.  |

Hi Becky and Heckler! I have photographed on Black velvet, with light at an angle and i never use a flash just the overhead light and I have used a small flashlight to get light at an angle. With some pieces this works, with others it doesn't. I am having a particularly hard time with Red and Topaz colored Crystals. Heck what is dulling spray and how would I get it off of the jewelry afterward? Thanks,  |

...dulling spray can be purchased at most photography stores of consequence. It's basically a translucent satin oil spray. If used in moderation, it is non-reflective and is easily removed with a dry cloth. Have you tried using scrim paper over your lighting to cut the intensity of the lighting? |

Thanks Hekler and Tx Tornado! I will keep trying! I think the camrea I'm using is a large part of the problem too. It adjusts it'self to the lighting and I can't control that, so I will keep trying. I have a link to my site in my profile if you care to take a look at the problem for yourselves. Thanks for your help! Peace and Love, The Dragon |

I know modern technology and digital cameras are great, but you may want to use an old fashioned 35mm with lens filters. I had a nice one that used for long time to shoot scenery. No digital that I have used has yet to match that one. ...<Warrior Spirit>  |

I have a friend and her and I had this same kind of problem,,,we tried all sorts of lighting and nothing seemed to work out very well. What we did was this: we set up a little display outside with natural light and got excellent results with jewelery and watches. the natural light outside works great, try to set your up jewelery where it is not in direct sunlight  |
