Ideas for jewellery Making for Beginners

Your Jewellery is lovely Susie especially the Tiara.

I had some good advice from a friend about photographing jewellery when i was having a nightmare with it. I usually use white A4 paper to lay the item on. Then position 2 desk lamps either side so the light is directly on the item. The further away you are when you take the picture the better, then i use photoshop to crop it so it looks closer up without blurring.

Thats kind of what I do but instead of the 2 lights I use my windowsill & take the photos in the daytime using the natural light

You should be able to find plenty on ebay

misskaty

Yeah I know I've looked I searched but nothing came up it was really weird, I searched for pandora stye beads and only a few items came up.

Miss katy the're not allowed to call them Pandora Style beads anymore due to copyright infridgement so if you search for European charm bracelets / beads you should find them.

I like your bracelets as well especially the second one.

HollyH how did you make the bracelet please? I've tried with memory wire but it was too thick to work with so i tried finer memory wire and it's now too flimsy and won't hold it's shape properly-and falls off! please advise . Thanks x
