A Charming Day

I've finally been working on some jewelry. I've got some charm bracelets in the works for Mother's Day and a couple of fairy tale ones, among others that I will be listing in my Etsy shop in the next few weeks. These two charms will be for necklaces. The "fly" charm features a feather donated by my lovebird Gioia. The colors are so pretty and I really wanted to be able to use them in some type of jewelry. My photo-taking skills need some work in the lighting department. I think I need to do some research on making myself a lightbox. I just can't seem to get the lighting right. It's harder than it seems to take good photos of jewelry, at least for me. Does anyone have any suggestions?
