Why Precious Stones Needs HDR Conversion

In the Precious Stones sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, HDR Conversion delivers measurable results that transform how precious stones professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for Precious Stones

Gemstone dealers work with products whose value depends entirely on visual qualities — color, clarity, brilliance, and optical phenomena like asterism or chatoyancy — that video captures far better than photography. Rotating stone videos showing color shift under different lighting angles reveal qualities that a single photograph hides. Gemological education content explaining the differences between ruby and spinel, natural and treated sapphire, or Colombian and Zambian emerald positions the dealer as an expert resource. Origin documentation videos following stones from mine to market, including cutting and grading processes, provide the provenance story that collectors demand. B2B content for jewelry designers showing available inventory with accurate color representation under standardized lighting enables remote purchasing from international clients.

Video Challenges in Precious Stones

Capturing Brilliance at the Macro Level

Jewelry video demands extraordinary technical precision — capturing sparkle, gem facets, and metal finishes at macro level while maintaining an emotional, aspirational narrative. 76% of luxury jewelry purchases involve online research, making video essential for consideration.

The challenge is conveying the weight, feel, and prestige of precious materials through a screen. Each piece requires custom lighting setups, specialized macro lenses, and turntable presentations that reveal every detail. Color accuracy is critical — a diamond must look as brilliant on screen as in person.

Success Stories & Case Studies

High Jewelry Collection — 4K Macro Campaign

A high jewelry house produced 4K macro videos showcasing the gem cutting and setting process for their annual collection. Online engagement increased 190%, and the craftsmanship content drove a 65% increase in by-appointment showroom visits from international clients.

Key Benefits for Precious Stones

Desire, Trust & Premium Conversion

Jewelry video delivers premium results: product videos increase online conversion by 120%, craftsmanship behind-the-scenes stories justify premium pricing and build collector interest, and virtual try-on experiences reduce returns by 30%. Luxury jewelry brands with strong video presence command 25% higher brand perception scores.

Our HDR Conversion Process

Color Grading Process

1. Color Analysis: We review all footage, identify exposure/white balance issues, and establish the target look with mood references and LUT exploration.

2. Primary Correction: Exposure normalization, white balance correction, and overall color balance across all shots for consistency.

3. Creative Grade: Scene-by-scene color grading to achieve the desired mood, with custom power windows, secondary corrections, and film emulation.

4. Final QC: Broadcast compliance check (if needed), HDR/SDR delivery, and export of custom LUTs for future use.

What Makes HDR Conversion Unique

HDR conversion transforms your SDR content into HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision formats — or converts HDR masters down to SDR for legacy displays. We handle the full technical pipeline: color space conversion (Rec.709 to Rec.2020), PQ or HLG transfer function application, MaxCLL/MaxFALL metadata generation, and Dolby Vision XML sidecar creation if required. This service is critical for platform delivery where HDR is expected (Netflix, Apple TV+, YouTube HDR). We work in DaVinci Resolve's HDR grading workspace and deliver verified masters with full QC reports. Turnaround is 2-4 days depending on content length and target format count.

What You Receive

You receive: color-graded master in ProRes/DPX, custom LUT package, before/after comparison frames, HDR and SDR versions, and color-consistent stills for marketing.
