Luxury Jewelry Authentication Photo Guide
Smartphone Macro Photography Steps (Natural Light Only)
Follow these steps to capture clear, detailed photos for accurate jewelry authentication. Skip any parts that your piece does not have.
Required Shots
- Engraved Hallmarks:Focus on all stamped logos or brand markings on the jewelry. Ensure every character is sharp and legible.
- Precious Metal Hallmarks:Zoom in on purity stamps (e.g., 14K, 18K, 925, Platinum). These are critical for verifying metal authenticity.
- Main Piece Finish:Take a close-up of the jewelry’s core surface (e.g., pendant face, ring band exterior). Capture the texture and polishing quality of the metal.
- Chain Finish:If your jewelry has a chain, photograph a section of the link details. Show the smoothness of the connections and the consistency of the metalwork.
- Lobster Clasp Hinge:Focus on the opening and closing mechanism of the lobster clasp. Capture the engraving (if any) and the structural precision of the hinge.
Pro Tips for Perfect Photos
- Use soft natural daylight (avoid direct sunlight or indoor lighting—they cause glare and distort details).
- Enable your phone’s macro mode for extreme close-ups; hold the camera steady to prevent blurriness.
- Ensure no shadows cover the key details—adjust your position or use a piece of white paper as a light reflector if needed.
