Provide enough viewing detail to discuss stones, reflections and retouching, while keeping the piece identifier visible.

The practical answer
Provide enough viewing detail to discuss stones, reflections and retouching, while keeping the piece identifier visible. A client needs to know both what looks wrong and which item it is.
A jeweler reviews several near-identical rings. Small reflection changes matter, but filenames must stay connected to the product inventory.
Put it into practice
A three-step working sequence
- 01
Label each piece and angle
Write the requirement down before sending the files. Use the project identifiers in the record below.
- 02
Ask for specific reflection and surface notes
Use the real recipient or receiving environment for this check. Record the result against the current version.
- 03
Check the selected final at the intended output size
Keep the result with the project handoff. Resolve any mismatch before treating this step as complete.
Worked handoff
A concrete example
Use one note for each issue: “Ring J17, side view, reflection on the lower band,” for example. Include the selected frame identifier so the retoucher does not apply a note to a similar-looking alternate.
Keep the record
Your project worksheet
Piece ID, angle, reflection note, surface note, selected frame, final check.
Use these fields to record your own project. The blank worksheet includes the three steps above, room for results, an owner and a date. It is an editorial template, not an automatic export from the product.

Where clientgallery.io fits
ClientGallery can organize proofs and collect image-specific client feedback. Keep product data, rights records and specialist color approval in the responsible systems. A gallery decision does not automatically certify a product claim or a reproduction standard.
