💍 Universal Jewelry Rendering Prompt – Cinematic Campaign Version (Model + Jewelry Focus) Create a hyper-realistic, ultra-professional image of a fine jewelry piece (based on the attached reference), worn by a 35+ year-old female model. The image should evoke the elegance and prestige of luxury advertising campaigns by Tiffany & Co., Cartier, Bvlgari, Piaget, or Chopard. 👩 Model Requirements: The model must be a woman aged 35 or older, with a timeless, sophisticated beauty. Styled in a refined, minimalistic way to ensure the jewelry remains the main focus. Poses should convey grace, confidence, and luxury — never over-posed. Facial expressions should be serene or elegant; no smiling unless subtle. 💎 Jewelry Fidelity — CRITICAL: Reproduce the attached piece with absolute precision. All materials (gold, platinum, diamonds, etc.) must show realistic lighting and surface details. No simplification or alteration of the design — all dimensions, prongs, engravings, and reflections must be photorealistically correct. 🎥 Cinematic Campaign Feel: Lighting must be perfectly balanced — soft, high-CRI studio lighting with cinematic tone and depth. Emphasize gem brilliance, metal shine, and dimensionality. Shot should feel like a luxury fashion campaign from Chopard or Bvlgari, suitable for a glossy magazine or billboard. 📷 Framing & Composition: Jewelry should be clearly visible, showcased prominently on the model. Full focus on the jewelry, even if the model is included — use poses that highlight the piece (e.g., close-up of hands, neckline, ear, or wrist depending on the type of jewelry). Orientation: square (1:1) or vertical (4:5) preferred. Minimum resolution: 4K (300dpi), suitable for both print and web. 🎨 Background & Styling: Elegant, cinematic background — out-of-focus luxury interior, soft monochrome, or gradient tones acceptable. Avoid busy settings or props that compete with the jewelry. Keep color palette refined and harmonious. 📸 Camera Simulation: Mimic Canon EOS R5 or Sony A1 with 85mm–100mm f/2.8 lens. Crisp focus with soft background (shallow depth of field), but jewelry must remain in full focus. No artificial blur or over-processed effects. ❌ Do NOT Include: Distracting wardrobe or makeup. Overexposed areas, harsh shadows, or gimmicky effects. Any elements that detract from the luxury and clarity of the jewelry. 🖼️ Overall Visual Tone: Ultra-premium, high-gloss editorial. Comparable to top-tier fashion campaigns by Cartier, Tiffany, or Bvlgari. Designed to appear in luxury fashion magazines, high-end displays, or global ad campaigns.

Image Aesthetics: Style: A hyperrealistic, high-fashion, avant-garde beauty portrait. Color: Masterful black and white (monochromatic). The image must have an extremely high dynamic range, featuring deep, velvety blacks, brilliant whites, and a full spectrum of smooth gray mid-tones. Subject Description: Person: A striking beautiful east asian woman with flawless skin and perfectly symmetrical facial features, including high cheekbones and a strong jawline. Hair: Her hair is completely pulled back from her face in a severe and sleek, tight bun or ponytail, emphasizing the clean lines of her face and bone structure. Makeup: The makeup is impeccable, dramatic, and a core feature of the portrait: Bold, perfectly sculpted eyebrows. Intense, smoky, cat-eye makeup. Full, perfectly defined lips painted with a dark, matte lipstick that appears almost black in the monochrome conversion. Composition and Pose: Composition: A tight, perfectly centered, and symmetrical head-and-shoulders shot. The composition is direct and confrontational. Pose: The woman faces the camera head-on, with her chin level. Expression: Her expression is powerful, intense, and confident. She holds a direct, piercing, and unwavering gaze with the camera. Lighting (The Most Critical Element): Technique: The lighting is the defining element, using a high-contrast, hard light source with a gobo (a "go-between" or stencil) to create a specific shadow pattern. Pattern: A single, sharp-edged, vertical bar of brilliant light is projected directly down the center of the woman's face. Effect: This central column of light illuminates only the very middle of her forehead, the bridge of her nose, her lips, her chin, and a narrow strip down her neck. The sides of her face, her cheeks, jaw, and the sides of her neck are plunged into deep, dramatic shadow. Background Lighting: The background is a simple, clean studio backdrop, lit to be a medium gray with a subtle gradient or vignette, which allows the subject's shadowed silhouette to be clearly defined. Overall Mood: The image should be intensely dramatic, mysterious, powerful, and sophisticated. It is a masterful study of light, shadow, and form.

Image Aesthetics: Style: A dramatic, minimalist, and deeply atmospheric low-key portrait. Color: High-contrast black and white (monochromatic). Texture: The image should have a realistic quality, showcasing natural skin texture, including visible freckles, with a subtle, fine grain. Subject Description: Person: A close-up of a young chinese woman's face. Features: She has bright, clear, and expressive eyes that are the central focus. Hair: Her hair is pulled back and is mostly obscured by shadow. Composition and Pose: Framing: The composition is minimalist, featuring only the woman's face as if it is emerging from a void. There is significant use of negative space. Pose: She is captured in a three-quarter turn, looking over her shoulder and up towards the top right of the frame. Expression: Her expression is one of gentle curiosity, hope, or wonder. Her eyes are wide and engaging, and her lips are slightly parted. Lighting (The Most Critical Element): Technique: The portrait is a masterful example of low-key, chiaroscuro lighting. Key Light: A single, soft, and focused light source (a spotlight) is positioned above and in front of the subject. Effect: This single light source illuminates only a portion of her face, carving it out from the surrounding darkness. The light falls primarily on her forehead, eyes, nose, and cheek, with a rapid falloff into shadow. Shadows: The vast majority of the frame, including the background and parts of the subject, is consumed by deep, pure black shadow. Background Light: The background is almost entirely black, with the exception of a soft, ethereal hotspot or glow in the upper right corner, which acts as a focal point for the subject's gaze. Overall Mood: The image should be intensely introspective, mysterious, and hopeful. The dramatic interplay of light and shadow should create a powerful and emotionally resonant atmosphere.
