Two Pears, November 2017
A friend is taking an online photo class. His next assignment was to photograph a shiny necklace with a visible shadow. I thought it'd be a fun exercise. Here's my imperfect result:

Thanks. It’s a piece of black polyethylene I bought to use as a mask for scanning.

Nice work Peter. I really need to get a better handle on studio flash...
Thanks, Bryan! Shiny things, even small ones, can be challenging. Do you see the back loop that holds the pendant to the chain? I tried everything I could think of to get a nice bright and even shiny metal look on it, and I couldn't.
Thanks Peter. Does the back loop have a concave surface? Probably tough to get highlights from it if that is the case. Maybe a small angle grid to camera right roughly at camera height, normal to the deepest surface of the back loop, just an idea.
Since we are talking digital here, I'd be tempted to move around a light till it hit the reflection you wanted and then composite it in :).
Tried all of that....and a bit more. :)
