# Jewelry Templates

> How jewelry shops choose a display template: on a surface, in a retail prop, worn, suspended or in hands.

Jewelry shops choose a **Template** instead of a background and pose. A template decides how the piece is shown: on a pedestal, in a display, worn by a model, hanging, or held in hands.

## Choose a template

In **Select Template**, filter by category:

| Category           | What it looks like                                                  |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **E-Commerce**     | Clean catalog shots, for example **Studio Edge Display**            |
| **On Surface**     | The piece resting on a surface, like **Stone Pedestal Composition** |
| **In Retail Prop** | In a store display, like **Retail Display**                         |
| **Worn**           | On a model, like **Worn Display**                                   |
| **Suspended**      | Hanging in the air, like **Suspended Display**                      |
| **In Hands**       | Held in a model's hands, like **In Hands Display**                  |

Use **Search templates...** to find one by name, and **Choose a shade** to change the template's color.

A template is required. If you skip it you'll see "Template selection is required. Please select a template to continue."

## Add your own template

Click **Add Your Own Template** to upload a reference photo of a display style you like and reuse it.

## How templates affect the other steps

* Some templates don't include a model. The studio tells you if you pick a model with one of these ("The {template} template does not include a model face").
* Some templates don't allow surfaces or retail props in **Select Accessories**.

## Accessories for jewelry

The jewelry **Select Accessories** step has four tabs: **Objects**, **Surfaces**, **Retail Props** and **Lighting Aids**. You can upload your own objects and retail props, or **Describe via text** in up to 10 words. See [Accessories](/ai-photo-studio/accessories).

## Tips for jewelry

* Always set **Stone Type** on the product.
* Add a **Size Reference** view so pieces come out at the right size when worn.
* The **Jewelry** lens presets (**Best Overall**, **Luxury Look**, **Ecommerce**, **Jewelry on Model**) are tuned for shine and detail. See [Final Settings](/ai-photo-studio/final-settings-and-image-engines).
