Show a Piece on a Model

Show on a model creates a lifestyle photo from a product photo you already have. AI takes the item’s main photo and shows the piece being worn — a ring on a hand, a necklace on a neck, a bracelet or watch on a wrist, earrings on an ear — so you have a photo that helps a customer picture wearing it.

It’s available on jewelry and watch records, and the item needs a main photo first (that’s the photo it works from).

How to use it

1. Open a jewelry or watch record that has a main photo.
2. Under Photos, click Show on a model.
3. Confirm where it’s worn, and how much to show. We pre-select the body part from the item’s category — change it if it’s wrong — then pick a Show… option (see below). Click Generate. Nothing is used until you click Generate, and this step shows how many AI photos you have left this month.
4. Wait a few seconds while the image is created.
5. Review it carefully. Click the image (or the Compare button on it) to see the AI render and your original photo side by side at full size — the easiest way to confirm the piece is unchanged. If it looks good, click Add as photo. If not, you can Regenerate to try again, change Worn on… or Show…, or Discard.

That’s it — the new photo is added to the item’s gallery.

Choosing how much to show

The Show… picker decides how close in the camera is. All three keep the piece sharp and true to its real size — a wider shot doesn’t shrink it into something you can’t make out.

• Just the piece — an extreme close-up: the piece and a little skin or chain, nothing else. The face and shoulders are out of shot entirely. Best for a listing photo, where the detail in the stones is what sells it.
• In context — a chest-up crop. For a necklace that’s the collarbones, the neckline and the décolletage with the full drop of the chain, so you can answer “will this 16-inch pendant sit at my collarbone?” — a question a close-up simply can’t. For a ring it’s the whole hand and wrist; for earrings, a three-quarter view of the head.
• Head and shoulders — a portrait showing the whole look: face, shoulders and upper chest. Best for social posts and lookbooks.

Showing a whole set

If the piece belongs to a set (built on the Sets page), the confirm step offers Show the whole set. That puts one model wearing every piece at once — the necklace, the earrings, the bracelet — in a single photo, so a customer can see the suite the way it’s actually sold.

• The framing is chosen for you. A necklace-and-earrings suite fits a head-and-shoulders shot; add a bracelet or an anklet and no such shot can hold it, so it opens out to full length. You aren’t offered a crop the set can’t fit in.
• It’s still one AI photo — one generation, one from your monthly count, however many pieces are in the set.
• Pieces without a photo are left out, along with any we can’t place on the body, and the confirm step tells you how many. Give those pieces a main photo first if you want them included.
• Up to six pieces go into one image. Beyond that the AI starts dropping or merging them, so the rest are left out.

If you book a suite under one stock number — one record whose photo shows the necklace, earrings and ring together, with all the categories in the description — you don’t need the Sets feature. We read the description, and if it names more than one kind of piece the confirm step says so (“This looks like 3 pieces in one photo”) and shows a model wearing them all. It’s ticked by default, because treating three pieces as one would give you a strange picture. Untick it if the item really is a single piece.

A note on fine detail. The further out the shot, the fewer pixels the piece gets, so a pavé piece shows less individual stone detail at head-and-shoulders distance than in a close-up. Photos are generated at high resolution to give the wider shots as much detail as possible, and they’re told to hold the piece’s outline, its distinct parts and the layout of its stones exactly. Even so, if you need the stones themselves to be countable, Just the piece will always be the sharpest.

Just the piece is the default, so nothing changes unless you pick otherwise.

A few things worth knowing:

• Only the options that make sense are offered. An anklet has no head-and-shoulders shot, so it isn’t listed for one.
• The wider shots include a face, and it’s a different model every time — there’s no way to keep the same person across photos. Fine for showing one piece; something to bear in mind if you’re generating a matching set for a lookbook.
• Each option is its own generation. Trying the same piece at all three settings uses three of your monthly photos.

Good to know

• You’re the reviewer. AI sometimes changes small details of a piece, so look it over before you keep it — click the image to compare it side-by-side with your original photo at full size. It’s normal to regenerate once or twice to get one you’re happy with.
• It’s always an extra photo. A generated image can never become the item’s main photo — your real product photograph stays the main one. Generated photos show a small AI badge in the gallery.
• It can be used anywhere a photo can — including your website and sales channels — once you’ve accepted it.
• You confirm the body part first. We pre-select it from the item’s category (a ring → hand, a watch → wrist). If we can’t tell, it’s left blank for you to pick. Either way you confirm before anything is generated. Changing the body part resets Show… back to Just the piece, since not every body part supports every shot.
• Your monthly count is shown before you spend. The number left this month appears on the confirm screen (and again on the preview) — so you always know where you stand before generating. Every generation counts — including a Regenerate — so if a render is close, keep it rather than rolling again. When you run out, the button pauses until the 1st of the next month.
