Step 01 · Prepare

Check your components

Unpack your GemLightbox Aerial and ensure your GemLightbox is powered on and ready. You will also need your smartphone with the GemIQ app installed.

Step 02 · Position

Place your jewelry

Place your jewelry piece on top of the GemLightbox. Center it carefully on the shooting surface to ensure it remains stable during rotation.

Step 03 · Attach

Attach the Aerial turntable

Attach the Aerial turntable to the underside of the jewelry piece. Align it carefully so the piece sits level and the magnetic connection is secure.

Pro tip: The Aerial connects to the underside of your jewelry, not the top. This ensures a firm magnetic connection for a smooth, stable rotation.

Step 04 · Connect

Connect the cord and stand

Plug the supplied cord into both the Aerial and the GemLightbox. Then, attach your preferred stand to the center base of the Aerial.

Pro tip: If needed, place the photography table on top of the GemLightbox to cover the small magnet hole at the base.

Step 05 · Pair

Connect in the GemIQ app

Open the GemIQ app on your smartphone and ensure Bluetooth is enabled. Tap 'Connect' to automatically pair the Aerial turntable.

Pro tip: If the app doesn't detect the Aerial, make sure the cord is fully plugged in at both ends, then force-close the app and try connecting again.
