Jewellery photography is always a lovely craft. That is to say, It is delicate and stunning. As the moment you click the camera, a little world shines through the lens. Each gemstone, metal finish, and intricate design has its own way of interacting with light. Expert lighting and careful styling help bring out its true beauty.
At our studio, we love working with a variety of jewellery brands, each with its own unique story. From luxury names like Oroton to modern, bohemian-inspired labels such as Arms of Eve and statement accessory brands like Izoa, every shoot is an exciting challenge. Whether it’s a high-end campaign or e-commerce product shots, we tailor our approach to highlight what makes each brand special.
Let’s take a closer look at different types of jewellery photography and how we adapt each style to best showcase the beauty of every piece.
Exploring the Different Styles of Jewellery Photography
Jewellery photography isn’t one-size-fits-all. For example, some brands prefer crisp, minimal product shots, while others opt for a more stylised or artistic approach. Here’s how we create stunning visuals across different jewellery styles:
E-Commerce Jewellery Photography: Precision & Clarity
For online stores, clarity is everything. Jewellery needs to appear sharp, true to color, and visually appealing to customers. A well-executed e-commerce jewellery shoot ensures that products look polished, professional, and enticing enough to convert visitors into buyers. In addition, every reflection, shadow, and texture must be carefully controlled to ensure that the jewellery is displayed in its best light.
To achieve this, we focus on:
- Even lighting to eliminate harsh reflections and ensure the details of metals and gemstones are clearly visible.
- Macro photography to highlight the fine craftsmanship, from intricate engravings to the way light plays off different materials.
- Consistent angles and clean backgrounds for a polished, uniform catalog that enhances brand identity and product presentation.
- Minimal but impactful retouching to refine the image while keeping it true to the physical product.
Example: Our work with Camilla and Marc focused on a clean, minimal aesthetic, where light balance and neutral backgrounds allowed the jewellery’s details to stand out. Izoa’s pieces, which include polished metals and pearls, required precise lighting to maintain clarity without harsh glare, ensuring each material retained its natural beauty.
Luxury & Lifestyle Jewellery Photography: Emotion & Elegance
For premium brands, jewellery photography must exude sophistication and exclusivity while telling a story. Beyondsimply displaying the product, luxury jewellery photography evokes a feeling—whether it’s timeless elegance, modern minimalism, or effortless beauty. The way jewellery interacts with shadows, textures, and movement creates a compelling visual that resonates with high-end buyers.
To achieve this effect, we incorporate:
- Soft, controlled shadows to create depth and dimension while enhancing the richness of the materials.
- Luxury props and textured backgrounds, such as marble, silk, or velvet, to elevate the presentation and add a refined touch.
- Model photography to bring jewellery to life, showcasing how it moves, reflects light, and enhances the wearer’s look.
- Delicate styling and composition, ensuring that nothing distracts from the beauty of the jewellery itself.
For example, with Oroton, we used soft directional lighting and curated props to create a refined, editorial-inspired aesthetic that highlighted the elegance of their jewellery. On the other hand, for I Dream of Silver, we focused on soft lifestyle photography, capturing delicate pieces against neutral tones to create an effortless and aspirational brand image.
