Galt Toys, Sparkle Jewellery, Craft Kit for Kids, Ages 5 Years Plus

Product Information

While a variety of jewelry cleaners and methods are on the market, a thorough hand cleaning can produce a beautiful, sparkling piece of jewelry. When we tested this Simple Shine kit at home, we found the process of using this jewelry cleaner to be easy and stress-free for restoring our favorite pieces to their former shine. This cleaner can be used on gold, silver, platinum, and treated gemstones. However, we would not recommend using it on soft porous gemstones like pearls, opals, or emeralds—such stones should not be submerged in water, so we would avoid submerging them in any cleaning solution, no matter how gentle. Gems and metals are highly reflective materials, and this makes them very difficult to photograph. A reflection on your piece can look like a flaw and make it look like it’s poor quality.

Whether your preference is for classic, timeless pieces, or for quirkier, bold, statement jewellery, our extensive collection of jewellery for women has something for everyone.

Candy Colors

At least one picture where a model is wearing the jewel is always recommended. This will give the customer a sense of the size and wearability of the piece. We love that this kit offers enough of the concentrated solution for up to 80 cleanings. You can also feel good making a fresh batch every time you need to clean your jewelry rather than wondering what grime may be lingering from past cleanings. Unfortunately, as with other liquid solutions in our roundup, this kit is not ideal for larger pieces and should not be used to clean soft, porous gemstones. However, we still appreciate the mix-on-demand formula and easy-to-use design that makes this kit well worth the affordable price tag.

If your jewelry came with care instructions, you should follow those directions strictly. Otherwise, every jewelry cleaner includes a recommended use list that details which materials are compatible and safe to treat with it. You should also consider the size of your pieces, especially if your jewelry cleaner solution uses a tray to keep the pieces in place. Delicate chains and small earrings may slip through larger slots. An entry-level macro lens allows a 0.5 representation of the subject which is quite good. However, if you have the budget and do this type of photography often, invest in one that will give you a 1:1 – the Sigma 70mm f/2.8 is one great option.

'Tis the Season

Instead, you want your jewelry photos to display the products at their best – without, of course, misleading the customer. 13. Photograph different angles

Another solution that’s even more affordable and portable are close-up lenses. You screw them into your lens, and you’re ready to go – they’re also a great lens for product shoots. Later, you blend all those pictures in an image editor, and you construct a fully-focused image – here’s how to do it in Lightroom. Find gifts for your mum, wife, girlfriend, sister, or best friend for birthdays, Christmas, or other special occasions - and if you can’t choose what type of jewellery to go for, our For this technique to be successful, you need to use a tripod with your camera – this way the framing is the same (except for the focus breathing but you can take care of that when post-processing the image). You can also use some dedicated software such as Helicon. 7. Use natural lightIf you’re not familiar with manual mode and the exposure triangle, set your camera to aperture priority mode. This way, you’re still in control while the camera automatically sets the rest for correct exposure. Use a soft bristle brush, such as a toothbrush, to clean any crevices,” Elizabeth suggests. “Rinse jewelry in warm water. Dry by gently patting with a microfiber towel. Do not use paper towels; they are too rough.” On top of that, it creates a flattering and smooth atmosphere that works great for this type of photography. Place yourself close to the window for better results. If the sun is shining too strongly causing unflattering shadows, you can use light diffusers. While an even soft light can illuminate the piece, you can add a separate source of hard light to create a sparkle. You can even find lightboxes with built-in sparklers, specially built for jewelry photography.
