Stud Earrings and Pendant Necklace Catalog Photography

The client lists gold-tone pave jewelry on marketplaces: several stud earring pairs and a pendant necklace series covering spiral, butterfly, character and geometric designs with clear CZ paving. The brief was clean white-background coverage per SKU. All frames were shot at the AIMI Visual Media studio in Guangzhou, China.

Photography Challenges

1. Pave on white needs point sparkle. Pave stones under flat sweep light look like glue dots. A small perforated field above the product gives each stone a highlight point while the background stays clean white.

2. Gold-tone on white drifts yellow. Gold plating against bright white can read brassy. A neutral key with a slight cool trim keeps the gold warm but credible, graded to a physical reference piece.

3. Small pendants need consistent scale. A series of small pendants photographed at varying distances breaks size comparison. Camera distance and focal length are fixed across the series, so sizes compare honestly in the catalog.

Our Approach

Angle template per design.

Opening frames run each pendant and earring design through the fixed front and angle positions.

Detail system frames.

Middle frames capture pave texture, bails, chains and earring posts under the detail recipe.

Series consistency passes.

Closing frames verify every SKU sits in the identical frame geometry before delivery.
