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:

That's cool Peter. What is the table surface?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.

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.
Tried all of that....and a bit more.
