AI-edited and rendered images on Amazon.in
Amazon.in does not ban AI-generated or AI-edited images. The only explicit AI rule is disclosure: an image or video showing photorealistic people generated entirely by AI must be tagged as a synthetic performer, which matters for the model shot the jewellery style guides require. Everything else is governed by the accuracy and real-photography rules for the main image.
Whatever a marketplace allows, buyers return jewelry that does not match its photos. Start from a real photo of the actual piece, keep the metal, stones and size accurate, and use editing for the background, lighting and presentation.
