Bead Swap Jewelry

Last week, I showed the beads that I received from my swap partner Heather in the My So Called Junky Life's bead swap. I made a necklace using the majority of the beads.


These beads look so pretty together - so much nicer than I was able to photograph. It's a large piece - the cross pendant is 2 1/4 inches long.

I even had enough beads leftover to make a pair of earrings. I added all the sterling findings and the turquoise beads.


Again, these were also tough to photograph. Here's a photo of them dangling.


If you have any tips for taking great jewelry photos, I'd love to hear them. It's so hard to get them positioned correctly and get enough light and get a good photo...

Very lovely jewelry creations! I was able to successfully photograph a necklace by putting a white crocheted piece over a lamp and then letting the necklace hang from the necklace. Was surprised it worked so well.

I agree, this is one hard thing to do (get the lighting right). I read recently your flash on the camera is the worse thing and that if you turn that off and rely on other light it works better. I've yet to figure out how to turn my digital camera flash off. Need to look that up.

Love your site
