3. Choose the Right Lighting to Highlight Jewelry

2.) Color Rendering Index (CRI)

A CRI of 90+ shows true-to-life gem colors and reflections.

3.) Lighting Direction & Position

• Overhead LED spotlights
• Concealed strip lights
• Edge-lit glass shelves
• Anti-glare diffusers

4.) Shadow-Free Display

Proper lighting eliminates harsh shadows that distract from jewelry brilliance.
