How to get great results

EasyListings keeps your piece exactly as it is and makes it look its best. It can only work with what your photos show, so good photos give great results.

Start a listing

Watch a full walkthrough

One real piece, start to finish: phone photos, a spoken note and a full listing for every platform.

1

Light

Soft daylight by a window, or a lightbox. No flash, no harsh sun. The piece must be clearly visible, not dark.

2

Focus

Hold still, tap the piece on your screen to focus, and keep the zoom at 1x. Blurry in means blurry out.

3

Distance

Fill about two thirds of the frame with the piece, 15 to 25 cm away. Do not crop tight in the camera.

4

Angles

3 to 5 full views: front, three-quarter from each side, side and back. Rings: one standing on the shank at a three-quarter angle.

5

Background

Plain card or a clean surface. Any background is fine because we replace it. Remove other items from the shot.

6

Worn photos

Two photos of the piece being worn: on a hand, ear, neck or pinned to clothing. Anyone can wear it. They set the pose and the true size.

7

Marks and flaws

Take sharp close-ups of hallmarks, signatures and every chip, crack, repair or missing stone. We sort them for you and never change them.

8

One upload box

Add all your photos at once. We sort them into piece, worn and close-up; tap a tag to correct it.

What to write

  • Measurements, which are required: for example 62 x 38 x 12 mm, or 7 x 4 x 2 cm.
  • Weight in grams and the ring size (UK letter).
  • The maker or brand, or unsigned.
  • Every stone you know: type, number, cut, weight and grades, for example 4 diamonds 0.04 ct each, VS1, F-G.
  • Condition in your own words.
  • Anything else a buyer would want: period, provenance, box and papers. Type it, or tap the mic and say it.

If something is wrong

Every listing has its own ID, for example EL-1EA32A. If an image changes a stone, the metal colour or a detail, press "Report a problem" on the item. We check it against your photos and, where we got it wrong, regenerate it free. Dark, blurry, very small or incomplete photos are not regenerated free; the app warns you about them when you upload.

Your photos are never used to train AI. They are stored securely and deleted on request: email info@easylistings.co.uk.
