Fletcher has the right idea. Sometimes it helps to hang some strips of dark material inside the tent so they reflect in the jewelry.


Oh yeah! I was concerned about creating highlights when I should have been creating lowlights (dark reflections in the gold). That would show contour in the jewelry and also give it the gleam back. I seem to have a problem with always thinking about adding more light when I should realize shadows are just as important and a lot cheaper to produce. Thank you very much.

Glad to be of help.  That's one of the reasons we are all here.
