From Bogotá to the World: How GemLightbox and GemSparkle Helps Green Shine Share Emeralds Globally

The Challenge

For Green Shine, specialists in Colombian emeralds, presenting gemstones with accuracy and brilliance is both an art and a business necessity. But emeralds are notoriously difficult to photograph—capturing their clarity, depth, and color variations often required complex setups and wasted hours.

“We have been using the GemLightbox for almost two years and it’s incredible for us to have all our stones and to send beautiful pictures to our customers around the world,” said Juliana.

Green Shine needed a tool that simplified emerald photography while supporting their growing international business.

GemLightbox and GemSparkle’s Role

GemLightbox proved to be the solution.

“Our favorite feature is that you can take out the different colors of the light. We use different colors depending on the clarity and the color of the stones,” explained Rosie.

By customizing the lighting, Green Shine could highlight the natural brilliance of Colombian emeralds while maintaining consistency across their catalog. With GemLightbox, they were able to share professional-quality photos quickly and reliably with clients worldwide.

The addition of GemSparkle further streamlined their work.

“It’s very difficult to take photos, and right now everything is on social media. GemSparkle makes life easier for us. It simplifies the work and gives us better quality photos.”
