Before and after
A ring, cleaned up
A few dust specks, a faint fingerprint on the band and a slightly dull stone. The retouch removes the marks, evens the reflections on the gold and lifts the diamond a little, on a clean white background.
What we do
What do we do to each piece?
Jewellery is small, shiny and photographed close up, so every speck of dust shows at full zoom.
