Or anyone else who is good with the camera.

I need help on photographing jewellery, im not sure what type of background, velvet, silk organza to sit the jewellery on and what can I prop up behind it...I have seen stuff photo'd on mirrors but I dont like the double look it gives, you dont know if it is a double stranded necklace tntill you look closely Rolling Eyes

What is better with silver colour and gold colour and dark jewellery and coloured jewellery. Am I better sticking with white or cream or black or dark blue or is it just a case f trying different things

Hi Ross, its mostly either semiprecious gemstones like above or glass or crystal

I just have a wee point and shoot kodak, nothing clever but it takes ok pics. I use auto or close up, I just have basic lighting too, tho bulbs are better than yellow normal ones but I need to inves in a dayglo bulb I think

Have you seen anything on other websites or in magazines that you like? So many ways to light and shoot things.

alison bought her wedding jewellery from this girl months ago.

I would look at other jewelery web sites to get ideas and experiment with different materials etc.
