Why jewelry photos are hard, and what changes
Small, reflective, and sold on detail: jewelry is the hardest category to photograph and the one where a single packshot does the least. Shoppers need scale, skin and light. sameface takes your packshot, keeps the piece as the subject, and draws the setting: a collarbone, a hand, a jewelry box, a marble tray in window light. You choose the format and the app writes the prompt.
The pieces that work best are those with a clear silhouette: pendants, hoops, bangles, signet rings. Fine chains and pavé settings need a closer look before publishing, because the generator can simplify what it cannot see in the source.
Settings that work for jewelry
- Worn, close crop: pendant on a collarbone, ring on a hand, earring in profile.
- Marble tray, window light for sets and gift photos.
- Jewelry box for the unboxing moment.
- Studio, product only for the first gallery image, where accuracy matters most.
What to check before you publish
Stone count, stone colour, chain length, clasp, and the metal tone: check every one against the source photo, not against another generated image. A gold piece must stay gold. If the piece changed, leave that image unpublished. The original photo stays first in the gallery; generated ones are added after it, only when you publish them.
What it costs
$0.08 USD a photo, $0.70 for a five-second clip of the piece catching the light, no monthly fee. A 150-piece catalogue with one worn photo each is $12, once. New stores get 15 photos free. See the pricing page.
Questions merchants ask
How much does a photo cost?
Each generated photo is $0.08 USD after the 15 free photos every new store receives. A five-second clip is $0.70, a 360 view is $1.50. There is no monthly fee. See the pricing page.
Does it change my existing photos?
No. Results land in your Shopify Files. You choose which ones to publish, and they are added beside the photographs you already have.
Do I need a model or a photographer?
No. Pick a product-only scene, or add a ready-made AI model. The prompt is written by the app from the product, the setting and the format you choose.
Can it show a ring on a hand?
Yes. Choose a worn setting with a ready-made AI model. Check the fingers and the ring's stone against the source before publishing.
