3-Step Guide to Quickly Edit Jewelry photos for Instagram

Step 1: Take Your Jewelry Photo

Your jewelry photo retouching results will only be as good as your raw photo. Whether you are using a traditional photography setup, or saving yourself time and energy by using a Jewelry Lightbox that ensures consistent lighting, the first step is to take a good quality photo that already has lesser adjustments to fix to begin with.

5 Factors that affect Raw Image Quality
Small imperfections like dust, micro-scratches, uneven lighting, or unwanted reflections can shift attention away from your jewelry. Edit jewelry photos for Instagram by removing these distractions makes your product look more appealing and encourages customers to browse your catalog.

When taking your raw photos, remember to maintain these factors to ensure high quality assets:

• Empty, uncluttered background
• Consistent Background Lighting
• Same Camera Angle Throughout
• Clean Jewelry Pieces
• Dusted Lenses and Light source

Tip: To Increase the sparkle on your pieces, consider using the GemSparkle to bring out the natural fire of your pieces in your photos just as it looks in real life. With fully adjustable color temperature from 3000K to 6500K, GemSparkle adapts effortlessly to showcase diamonds, gold, and every gemstone in between to capture the true colours and flawless brilliance of your pieces.

For an easy reference, the recommended sizes for each platform is as follows:

• Square (1:1) – Ideal for Instagram feed posts
• Vertical (4:5) – Best for product listings or detail shots
• Wide (16:9) – Perfect for website banners or hero images
