Maxwell doesn't use Final Gather Dave :blush: but you're right. Slatamilian, it seems as if you're using the Maxwell sky setup which makes the pendant look strange given that it's sitting on a dark burgundy backdrop that doesn't seem to have any influence on it whatsoever.

Usually jewelry is photographed inside a lighting box, which is pretty much a translucent box/tent with a white interior (for generic environment and reflections). It that scatters incoming light to create a soft diffused lighting effect.

I googled and found a pretty nice clear image of the setup.
Ref site is telovation.com

Had to do a repost :x
