Description

A still life photograph displays an arrangement of gold jewelry on a two-tone background. The jewelry includes a necklace, ring, and pair of earrings. A curved paper cutout creates an opening that bisects the background, with a light yellow tone on one side and a darker gold or brown tone on the other. The jewelry pieces are positioned so that they are visible through the opening. The background outside of the cutout is light green. The lighting is soft and diffused, creating shadows that define the shapes of the jewelry and paper cutout.
