Customize your Jewelry!

Here are some new pendant necklaces that are new and fresh in my Etsy Shop! They are various pieces of ephemera behind a piece of glass. I am just crazy about them!

This could be customized to different locations, just contact me to see if I have a map of the location you are looking for!

The other great thing about these pendants is that I can make a customized pendant just for you! If you have a little piece of paper you would like made into a pendant, just contact me. The pendants are 7/8" X 7/8", so if you are giving me something that is bigger than that, I will obviously have to cut it.

Another option is to have a photo made into a pendant. If you email me the photo, I'll do the rest! There is an extra $3 charge for the photo pendants (So they are $18) unless you can give me a physical photo the correct size for the pendant.

Let me know what kind of pendant I can make you!

Amethyst Earrings

Amethyst Earrings , originally uploaded by B.B. Bellezza.

I love these chunky amethyst earrings, which are in my Etsy Shop!

I actually am really liking this photo, too. Just a year ago I got my new camera and that has made such an incredible difference! I can't even believe the photos I used to have. Horrible.

I can still use a lot of work on the photos, but I think I am getting better and better. (For example, this photo would be better without the light reflection!)

I think the main things that have helped me photograph my jewelry more effectively are:

1. Macro setting on my camera!!
2. More megapixels. (honestly I had like 1 megapixel on my old camera!)
3. I made a really simple handmade light box. You can do this for next to nothing with stuff you have around the house. Really, you can.
4. Stopped using the flash an got daylight light bulbs. Most people will tell you to take photos in natural light. While I completely agree with them, my schedule does not allow for this most of the time.

I am not going to dig out an old photo for you to compare, but I guess if you were really curious, you could probably find one if you looked hard enough.

*If you would like to buy these gorgeous amethyst earrings for $4 off, be the first to purchase them on Etsy before Wednesday at midnight. Use the code "quickblogsale1" in the notes to seller when you checkout. Wait to pay and I will send you a new invoice with the discounted price.

New Pictures!! YAY!!

I am so happy that I got to take some new photos of my jewelry. I had access to a very wonderful camera for a few hours over the weekend. I didn't get to do bath and body products, though, I just ran out of time!

Here are some of the shots: (I am not completely perfectly happy, but they are sooooo much better!! Now I just have to get a new camera for myself!)
