Tips for Photographing your Jewelry

2009-07-09T10:24:00.009-06:00

The Light Tent
The first thing you'll want to do is purchase a light tent. You can find light tents from a variety of photography stores. You can also check out places like www.craigslist.org for a used one.
Light tents will range in price from around $30 - $50 or more depending on the size. Remember when buying your light tent that the larger it is, the hard it will be to light up. I would recommend measuring your largest jewelry display and getting a tent that will accommodate that.
Most light tents will come with a variety of back drops as well. These are usually very easily changed out with a dab of Velcro to stick the new back drop to the light tent.

Lighting
Once you have your light tent, it's time to light it up! I've purchased two small desk lamps that clamp onto a table side for mine. The goose necked lamps make it really easy to maneuver the light to where you need it. For light bulbs, I use True Light Energy Saving bulbs. The kind that last for 8+ years with the coil look. Reason number one is that they give off the best light I've found and reason number two is that they are better for the environment. I always take my pictures indoors, however I have heard that you can get great pictures outdoors on overcast days as well.

Steady Now
The next thing you'll need to get those perfect jewelry pictures is a steady hand! If your camera is shaking at all you're going to get blurry pictures. If you don't have a tripod for your camera, no worries! As you can see I use a stack of old college text books. About 4 books gives me a nice steady surface. I can also place the camera on the edge of the text books to angle it down into the tent for items that I might want to lay flat on the bottom of the light tent. Other items I've used is a jewelry necklace display bust. It has just the right amount of slant to hold the camera steady and get a great 'looking down' shot.

To Flash or Not to Flash
I still have not mastered this, but for the most part I do flash. A lot of times I'll take two pictures, one with and one without the flash. Since they always look different on my computer screen than they do on the camera screen, it's an easy way to choose what works best for you.

The Camera
I saved the most important for last, your camera! Make sure your camera has a spot focus feature. Our camera is a Pentax Optio S40 and it has been a GREAT little camera for us. Read through your manual on how to get good close up pictures and you'll be all set to go!

8mm Faceted Fire Polished Nugget Beads

2008-12-30T08:25:00.007-07:00

New Faceted Fire Polished Nugget Beads: Fire Polished Beads are a must have for the serious beader. They add that extra sparkle and sophistication to all of your beading projects. And the wonderful thing about Fire Polished beads is that you can use them in place of more expensive Swarovski Crystals and still get the same stunning effect.

Fire Polished Beads are usually faceted and come from the Czech Republic. They are faceted by machine and then placed through ovens to make the surface molten. This gives the Fire Polished Bead a shiny appearance.

Our newest line of Fire Polished Beads are perfect for the chunky look that is so popular right now. Large facets on all sides of the bead give it the look of being a very expensive bead, when they are actually very reasonably priced. Our new line of 8mm Faceted Fire Polished Nugget Beads come in 5 colors and 25 pieces to a strand. You can find these and more great Fire Polished Beads at www.DJBeads.com .

Beads on Sale at http://www.djbeads.com/ for August 1st - 15th 2008

It's hard to believe that summer is almost over! So we're going to try and milk it for all we can get out of it with our new 14mm Sea Shell Beads.

Just imagine the possibilities for some great beach and summer jewelry with these beautiful beads. The lustrous finish really shows off the details of each shell line. There are eight styles of these beads with top drill holes, i.e. they are strung from side to side at the top of the shell. However, the Coral Pink shells are a vertical drill hole going from top to bottom. You can click on the pictures to see how they are strung on the strand and give you a clearer picture of which way they are drilled. In total, there are 9 different colors to choose from.

Each strand is a regular $2.25 for a strand of 20, but from now until Aug. 15th they are on sale for only $2.00 per strand.

Our book of the month is Gemstones of the World by Walter Shumann and retails for $24.95.

This hardcover book is 8x5x1"and 272 pages.

"Gemstones of the World is truly the single volume that every hobbyist, jeweler, jewelry maker, and rock hound needs: it’s the cornerstone of the field. And this updated edition contains a host of new findings on “Gemstones for Collectors,” additional gems in the “Table of Constants,” and the “double fraction” figures that experts have long wanted—a very special new feature."

New Variety Packages ready!

These are always fun packages to add to your collection of beads.

First off is our Delica Variety Package offer, which has a small change to it. We are no longer offering the 5 gram package and only offering the 10 gram Delica Seed Bead Package.

New Brass & Sterling Findings, + New Beads

2008-06-13T17:09:00.019-06:00

You can always find our Newest Beads and Findings on our New Beads Page here:
https://www.djbeads.com/NewBeads.html

With prices on Sterling Silver and Gold sky rocketing out of control, jewelry makers are looking for alternatives for their finding choices. So we're introducing our new line of Anti Tarnish Brass findings.

To begin with, there are five hook and eye clasps available.

You can choose from an elegant swirl design, a hammered rustic looking hook and eye clasp, a leaf and flower hook and eye clasp for those floral projects, two leaves hooking together for your nature projects or my personal favorite... the 3 strand triangle design.

These clasps start at only $2.50 each and add a unique finishing touch to all your jewelry projects.
Brass is also a nice alternative to expensive gold findings. The bright coloring on these brass findings is not dull or dingy, but could pass for gold to the untrained eye. But as always, be sure to ask if you customer has any metal allergies.

Keep an eye out for our future product updates for more Anti Tarnish Brass findings. There is an entire host of findings we can get our hands on and plan to carry a large line of Brass in the store. In the future there will be items like Brass Connectors, Brass Toggles, Brass Bead Frames and much more.

Sterling Silver Findings are always a must for those with metal allergies. And this week we have 4 new items in our Sterling Silver Findings.

There are 3 new toggle clasps that are just loaded with charm! We were definitely thinking of Spring and Summer with these. Little flower toggles, a darling Rose Bud that just sits inside the loop forming a perfect rose. Then a flowery teardrop shape with dragonfly wings to hold it in place.

Our Sterling Silver Toggles start at just $2.20 each.

Also new are some 3mm Sterling Silver Half Ball Ear Posts. These are sold 10 pieces to a bag for $4.30.

There are 4 new Japanese 11/0 Delica Seed Bead colors available:
Delica #672

Delica #1005

Delica #1016

Delica #1490

4mm Czech Glass Cube Beads and perfect as accents on Spirals or use some in a Right Angle Weave, RAW, stitch.

This week we have 4 new colors, AB Peridot, AB Rosaline, Opaque Luster Turquoise, and Pearl/Fuchsia.

Our last two new items this week were picked for the store strictly for the brilliant color of the beads.

8mm Opaque Luster Light Blue Druk Beads are just stunning and have a sort of Satin look to them, almost as if they were pearls.Then our new 8x3mm Flat Dime or Coin Beads are perfect for that earth tone lover. The color is called Gingered Chai and has brilliant browns, creams and tans all swirled and layered into each bead. These are a really nice alternative if you're looking for a gemstone type of look, without having to spend a fortune on gemstone beads.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Newest Beading Items from DJBeads 05/29/08

2008-05-29T13:44:00.017-06:00

Our newest beads and findings are now available at DJBeads.com

In this update we have some high end items that are sure to give your jewelry projects that special elegant touch.

First up are some new Mother of Pearl beads in the Large Leaves and a new category, Long Teeth Beads. These are both perfect for that earthy natural piece of jewelry you want to make. Our Mother of Pearl beads come in an assortment of colors and shapes and all of them come with that beautiful Mother of Pearl sheen. A great way to add some natural gemstone pieces into your show without spending a fortune.

And be sure to take a look at our Mother of Pearl Page for some hints and tips on how projects to use our Mother of Pearl Beads in.

Another new line that we are starting to carry is Sterling Silver Toggle Clasps. These are 3 very unique toggle clasps that are beautiful as well as affordable. With prices starting at just $2.20 per clasp, Sterling Silver is no longer out of your reach!

Our 3 new designs in the Sterling Silver Toggles are:

A flowery toggle with 5 rounded edges and a small toggle bar
A perfect rose that just sits inside the toggle loop.
An Oval with little loops and a heart in the ring and dragonfly wings for the bar

And don't forget to check out our many other Sterling Silver Findings while you're there.

We are trying out some new German Wire in the store. If we find that there is a demand for it, then we will be getting in other sizes and colors. For those that have not used German Wire before, it is one of the best quality craft wires you can get. The base of German Wire is copper, but the color lasts longer than inferior crafting wires.

At the moment we have 2 kinds of German Wire in stock, both in 18 gauge, Brass and Silver. My distributor advertised these as 4 Meter packages, but the Package itself says 3 Meter.... I've not taken one out to measure it, so if you get 4 Meters all the better right?

Our German Wire starts at just $2.70 per package.

I will also be taking requests. If there is a certain gauge that you'd like please let me know using our Contact Us page and I will get it in the store.

Add A Bead Cuff Bracelets! These are a real treat and I've wanted to carry them for quite some time, but they were only available in Sterling Silver. Just recently they've been made available in Silver Plated.

These are really great to show off a focal bead, mood bead any kind of bead with a large hole. Just unscrew the end, slide 1 of the lock beads off, slide your beads onto the cuff, replace the lock bead and screw the end back on. And Viola! You have a very classic, elegant bracelet for not much money at all.

We also have 2 new Delica Colors in stock, Delica color # 174 & Delica color # 729

On a personal note: For those of you that we haven't already spoken to or contacted regarding the Windsor Colorado Tornado. We have had our fill of havoc since it ripped through our little town here. We went for almost 6 days with no power and tried to keep things going with a gas generator. And although it was a hardship it was no where near what some of our neighbors are going through that have lost their homes completely. We were truly blessed that we came through unscathed.

This notice was suppose to go out last Thursday, but I'm sure you can imagine why it was delayed. I don't like bunching up notices, sending one blog out after the other. But with the 1st just around the corner felt it would be too much to try and cram a product update and a new month all into one blog. So I'm sorry if you guys get pummeled with these notices. It should just be these two and hopefully we'll be back on track.

Thanks for understanding and a very special thank you to all the customers that called us personally to make sure our family and our bead store was in tact.

Beads on Sale for May 15th 08 + Newest Bead Items

2008-05-15T10:01:00.028-06:00

What's new at DJ Beads

Sit back and get ready to look at all the new pretty beads, because there are tons of new goodies as well as new beads on sale!

First off DJ Beads has a completely new look with an easier navigation system at the top of each page. And the best part is that we've restructured our bulk discount groups and pricing. What does that mean for you? Better prices on beads! With our new system we've combined more beads in each category for you to pick from. And we've give bigger discounts for bulk buyers as well as low prices for those that just want a few strands here and there.

We are still working on this remodel, so please be patient if not all the pages are re-done yet. But over 80% of the site is remodeled at this time.

So click on some of those bars at the top to see our new prices and assortments of beads.

Now on to the sale items! On sale from May 15th to the end of the month we are staying with the fire polished bead theme and have our 6x3mm faceted rondells on sale for ONLY .85 per strand! You'll find them on our sale bead page by clicking here:

The highlight of our newest beads has to be the new 14x13mm Lampwork Stained Glass Window Beads. These beautiful beads come in an assortment of 9 colors and are the perfect focal point for your jewelry project. Or buy 2 of them to make a pair of earrings out of them.

These 9x6mm Faceted Fire Polished Gemstone Donuts are just an amazing color combination! They are a Multi Swirl of a bevy of colors and it's hard to imagine a color they won't go with. But be warned, I cleaned out my distributor on these little gems. So I do not know if I'll be able to re-stock them or not. This may be a case of a beautiful bead that isn't made anymore.

Another new Czech Lampwork Bead are the 15x10mm Flat Oval Silver Stripe Beads.

These beads come in an assortment of 5 colors, Montana Blue, Emerald, Topaz, Amethyst and Rosaline Pink.

(Note:I am also unsure about the availability of the Topaz. It's unclear whether my distributor will re-stock that particular color or not. Currently there are 20 beads available)

"Julia S. Pretl, author of Little Bead Boxes and Bead Knitted Bags- has created a collection of beaded neck pieces- inspired by broad collars- the dramatic jewelry worn by the ancient Egyptians and a well-known form among beadworkers. She has adapted the traditional form—a broad- beaded necklace—to create ten original designs for the modern beadworker- with skill levels ranging from beginner to more advanced. With step-by-step illustrations and easy-to-follow patterns- Julia leads the reader through the techniques for creating the stitched ladder—the basic unit that is combined and joined in various ways to create each of the unique designs. She also teaches readers how to build a custom-sized template- choose a color palette- and create decorative fringe- layers- pendants- and netting to add the finishing touch. The introductory chapters present the basic beading and assembly techniques- illustrated with clear- digitally rendered- and color-coded drawings. Color photos of each of the 10 designs and 10 detail photos illustrate each project. Softcover-112 pages, measures 9 x 9."

Product Update for April 4th 2008

2008-04-04T13:15:00.008-06:00

This week we have 4 new Gemstones in. When the last shipment of the Blue Crazy Agate arrived, I was so impressed with them that I just had to run right out and buy some more. So here are 3 new shapes in the Blue Crazy Agate found here: https://www.djbeads.com/BeadStore/Gemstones/BlueCrazy.html

There was also a request for some Amazonite, so here's what I could get my hands on for now. I'll keep an eye out for more of this beautiful Gemstone to stock in the store. https://www.djbeads.com/BeadStore/Gemstones/Amazonite.html

New Sterling Silver Goodies!

How can you not LOVE these Sterling Silver Lasered Stardust Beads? They just jazz up any design you're working on. They are now available in 2 new sizes, 3mm and 5mm and starting at just .80 for a package of 4!

Also there are some new Sterling Silver Rounded Ear Wires. I kept seeing these on jewelry designs so decided we had just better have some for the store.

The rest is sort of a miscellaneous bunch of items.

First up are new smaller Lacy's Stiff Stuff sheets. If you bead cabochons you already know that this is an item you just can't live without! Personally I've tried some of the cheaper items at fabric stores and end up with frizzy white showing through my bead work. If you're going to put the effort into it, then make sure it looks professional when it's done!... but that's just my humble opinion.

This smaller size is great for the beaded Cabochon beginner. The sheets are sold by the each and come in 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" sheets.

This adorable little Ceramic Bee Bead is just in time for Spring! Make a cute pair of earrings with 2 of them or put them on a stretch bracelet for a great piece of kids jewelry!

New Japanese Matsuno Seed Beads, Silver Lined, Square Hole Crystal in a 6" tube, approx. 29 grams.

For those seed beaders out there, these are GREAT beads. I've used them personally and they are just as good as the Miyuki 11/0 seed beads, but about half the cost. They still aren't Delica's, but these work wonderfully on pieces like corralling and spirals.

Be sure to check out all our pages of Matsuno Seed Beads here: https://www.djbeads.com/BeadStore/Seed/Mat11.html https://www.djbeads.com/BeadStore/Seed/Mat11-3.html https://www.djbeads.com/BeadStore/Seed/Mat11-4.html https://www.djbeads.com/BeadStore/Seed/Mat11-5.html https://www.djbeads.com/BeadStore/Seed/BU5.html

Be sure to check out our newest items page here https://www.djbeads.com/NewBeads.html for a complete list of our newest items as well as our re-stocked goods.

Have a GREAT weekend everyone!

New Mother of Pearl and more Venetian Beads (03/21/08)

2008-03-21T10:03:00.022-06:00

This week we've got some really stylish Mother of Pearl Open Ring beads. They come in an assortment of 12 available colors on 16" strands and all are available with the assortable bulk discount pricing.

Personally I can't wait to use some of these in chain mail or just attached to a Sterling Silver chain sporadically. This is what I see everyone wearing these days, a chain with a big O in the middle of it, (at least in our neck of the woods).

Aqua Blue Brown Bronze

Cream Grey Lime Olive

Pink Purple Red White

We also have a few new Venetian Beads. Most of the colors that we'll be getting in now were out of stock when we placed the original order, so you'll see some new colors trickling in on these.

Venetian Beads

Amber/Brown
Flat Oval

Blue/Green
Swirl Drop

Red/Black
Drop

And lastly we have our re-stocked items. I have a really hard time keeping this book in stock, and I've thumbed through it and it's not hard to see why. This Netweave book is great for learning all sorts of bead weaving techniques.

You can find it here:

https://www.djbeads.com/BeadStore/Books/JewelryMaking1.html along with many more jewelry making books.

We also did a re-stock on some of our more popular Venetian Bead Styles & Colors

Blue/Green Swirl Venetian Flat Oval

Amber/Brown Venetian Drop

Blue/Lt Blue Swirl Venetian Flat Oval

Clear/White Venetian Drop

Blue/Lt Blue Swirl Venetian Drop

Have a GREAT EASTER everyone!
