From DIY Struggles to Professional Results: Why Jennifer Norton Chose GemLightbox

The Challenge

For Portland-based jeweler Jennifer Norton, creativity and craftsmanship are at the heart of her business. But like many independent jewelers, she faced a recurring obstacle: photography.

“It took some time to realize that I couldn’t do it on my own to make the pictures look as professional as I wanted,” Jennifer explained.

Her photos weren’t matching the quality of her designs, and time spent experimenting with lighting and editing was taking her away from what she loved most - creating jewelry.

GemLightbox’s Role

Jennifer discovered GemLightbox at the Tucson Gem Show, and it immediately solved her challenge.

“This really does the job so that way I can continue creating the jewelry and not wasting time taking the photos.”

The transition was effortless. Uploading to Shopify and other platforms became simple, backdrops could be swapped seamlessly, and the newly added camera feature provided even more flexibility.

“How easy it is to upload and move over to Shopify or whatever other base you’re using… and the new edition of the camera - fantastic.”

The Results

With GemLightbox, Jennifer now enjoys a balance between artistry and efficiency.

• Time Savings: Less energy spent on photography, more time dedicated to jewelry design.
