Jewelry photography is tricky, because the viewer cannot look at the product directly and feel it in his hands, so the entire process depends on the product image. Hence the product image ought to be clear and the background should be plain and professional. In addition to all this, the image could also have a shadow to give it a more natural look.
Though the shadow isn’t a vital part of the picture, it gives that alluring feel to the whole image. The shadow that you get from the original picture might be sufficient, or Photoshop could be used to get a natural shadow or drop shadow. However the best effect that works for jewelry is a reflection shadow. If a piece of jewelry, like a ring or a bracelet is placed on a white background and then given a faint reflection, it gives the viewer a feel that the image was taken on a reflective surface like a glass table. It also adds that glossy look to the ornament and ensures that it looks natural and attractive at the same time.
