Attached Link: rings shot by a-blue--angel

the top images in both of your pieces really show off the stones in their brilliance cept the reflection in the gold of the 1st bothers me..

i tried a few.. it is difficult (photo)
you want to set off the stones, make them sparkle,
show off the craftsmanship of the setting,
watch for burn out & unwanted reflections
& smudges like i did on this one.. oops :P

i suppose one of those tabletop studios would be perfect

just for added interest.. a member here who did a fantastic series of modern jewelry shots in the gallery used a model to set them off in an unique way.. maybe you saw them.. might be too much for the "discreet" buyer ;] the rings are done in an interesting way
