Inspired by Van Rossen (//www.vanrossen.com/index.html) who photographs jewellery in such lovely and interesting ways, rather than the clinically white background that so many use.
I tried to take a photo that shows off my pendant in a way that complements both the crystal and the gold.
To give you an idea of scale, the whole thing is 42mm (1.5") tall.
Post processing:
crop, clone out string and a few spots (thank God for the advanced editing for this one). Then I played with levels, curves, saturation, contrast and whatever else I could find LOL.
VERY low/little sharpening, then resize and ready for web.
In case you're interested in the set-up, here it is

Well, to be honest after checking out his website I think this photo might be better! He does great photography but nevertheless....move over Van Rossen! 10.
