First of all, I have to deeply apologize for leaving a watermark on this image. I typically don't but I am kinda proud of this work that it would be unwise for me to leave it here without.

Secondly, I'm sure there'll be questions like "Did you use photoshop?" Well, I wish I can say I didn't. But there were too many godamn dust on the plexiglass that I had to use Photoshop to
clone 'em out!!! It was frustrating... That's probably why jewelry photography has came down to actually photoshopping the entire rings and diamonds as dust become much more apparent in macro situations. Also cloned out some small unwanted reflections. When was the last time we all did some "painting with light" and didn't accidentally leave in unwanted reflections, right? Beyond that, just some curves. No, I didn't change the background or alter the image. As for how I did this, haha! ;-)
