I started jewelry retouching 18 years ago in downtown Los Angeles. I was flown in from Europe to take over the design and retouching work for a busy jewelry company right in the heart of the city’s jewelry district. Back then, no one was doing jewelry retouching online—there were no tutorials, no mentors—just me, my Photoshop skills, and a sharp eye for detail. I photographed the jewelry myself and retouched every jewelry image by hand—removing blemishes, polishing metal, adjusting color, and cleaning up fingerprints and flaws with surgical precision.

The jewelry I handled wasn’t costume jewelry—it was real, high-value diamond pieces, often priced between $3,000 and $100,000. I was trusted to work with them directly, and I had to be extremely careful—not just with the images, but with the physical pieces themselves. Losing a ring or misplacing anything was not an option. I worked in tightly secured offices with remote-controlled locked doors, like the ones you see in the Adam Sandler film Uncut Gems, where every piece was accounted for and security was taken just as seriously as craftsmanship.

Today, I bring that same level of care, precision, and discretion to jewelry clients worldwide through JewelryRetouching.com. Whether you’re a small boutique or a global brand, your images will be treated with the same respect and attention I’ve provided since day one. You send us your photos—we return them magazine-ready. You’re not just hiring a retoucher—you’re partnering with someone who truly understands the responsibility, artistry, and business behind luxury jewelry.
