• Now, we’re ready to change the color of the Jewelry.

Step 2 – Select the Pen Tool

• You need to change the color of the Jewelry without affecting its diamonds and background. 
• You need to make sections to separate the metal, diamond, and background.
• To separate these selections, you can pick a valuable tool like Lasso Tool, Quick Selection Tool, Pen Tool, etc., available in Photoshop.

• You need to draw a path around the ring (try to make it closer and smooth).
• Now, click on the Create path icon and rename the path “diamond” in the Paths panel. 
• Then draw another path around the diamond.
