Boodles Festivities.
Boodles wanted Christmas scenes for social content, stills and motion off the same builds. Fine jewellery at Christmas is usually isolated on a plinth and lit for the stone, which reads as a product shot with a bauble put next to it. A party table is candles, glassware, satin and velvet, and all of that either swallows a diamond or fights it for attention. So the pieces were dressed into the party rather than out of it. Earrings hooked over champagne flutes, rings left open in their boxes among the candles, chains laid down with baubles and walnuts. Two worlds were built to the same idea, one bright on blush marble, one dark on green velvet and oxblood satin.


The candles carry the mood and nothing else. Each stone got its own small hard source placed for it, so the sparkle is a decision rather than whatever the flame happened to give. Shallow focus keeps the table suggested, and the satin and velvet are real material, not a texture added later. More christmas jewellery photography and the rest of the fine jewellery work sits on the jewellery and watches page. Set design and prop styling: Holly Isabella, with Bladesman as production partner.
