Reading amulet photographs: front, back, edges and measurements

Identify what each view shows

Compare visible details across the front, back and edges. Ask whether a picture is of the offered object or a comparison example when this is unclear. A repeated close-up cannot replace a missing side.

Read measurements separately

Lighting, exposure and background change the impression of colour and reflection. Dimensions should come from a stated measurement, with the distinction between the unmounted object and its case made clear.

Use preview and original together

Previews make browsing easier; enlarged original photographs support closer inspection. On this site, the preview appears first and the original is fetched when enlarged. Resolution alone does not establish composition or authenticity, and photographs cannot replace every aspect of examining an object in person.

Ask a precise question

Use the shop reference and describe the position you want checked: for example, request a close view of a particular edge and ask whether the dimensions include the case. Save that clarification with the corresponding object name and date.
