Now that I’ve shared my engagement story, it’s time to see the bling! I’ve been engaged for over two years and have never really taken pictures of my ring. I know nothing about photography and didn’t know how to photograph my ring without it looking like a huge white blur, until Mrs. Avocado and Anne Ruthmann’s tutorials came along! And I kind of cheated, I had a friend who had already taken some beautiful ring shots of her own come over and help me! We didn’t use a tripod or any special equipment, just a pashmina and my roommate’s desk lamp! Someday Mr. Kitten and I want to buy a real camera, but here is what I came up with using my handy digital camera!
As you can see, we used a random assortment of household products as props—candy, straws, a cork, and a tea tin, just to name a few.
Have you taken ring shots yet? What kind of props did you use?
wow great job!!!! looks like you are on your way to be a professional 
I love it! Amazing photo and gorgeous ring! I had really wanted a vintage style ring like this, but I’m still happy with the choice Mr. Stiletto made 
Its a beauty and a half!
I should really get off my lazy meat and take some good pics of mine, too.
That is so lovely! Is that a champagne diamond? Your pics turned out great!
beautiful! I used flowers from our front yard for my ring pics. But I love your household stuff!
Wow, I really, really love you ring Your shots are beautiful!
A lot of pros have gone completely digital lately. It looks gorgeous.
Not yet, but I’m looking forward to getting creative some time soon! Thanks for sharing!
@bellenga: No it’s a regular diamond, but my lighting was making everything turn out a little yellowy!
I also have to credit the friend who read all the photo tutorials and helped set up my ring shots. Thanks Indiebride! Here is the link to hers–I LOVE the one with the blackberry!

Your ring is gorgeous! and I love all your shots, they look pro
Beautiful ring, love the vintage feel of it! I sure did take photos, they actually started of the ring shots on here and I was “the bride” who asked Anne Ruthmann to give us some pointers on taking pictures. Here’s mine on Weddingbee: http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/12/16/ring-shots/
I haven’t done ring shots yet, but I want to!
Your ring is gorgeous! Is it an antique?
