your jewelry is beautiful! i especially like this one:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php...ng_id=37970690

some unsolicited advice about your postings: try to photograph jewelry in a way other than straight on with flash, that method visually flatens the beads and doesn't allow their naturally beautiful colors to show through. Maybe try things like draped over the edge of a book, hanging on a tree branch, or on one of those porcelain hands that are for keeping jewelry on, etc. and rather than using direct flash, turn the flash off and take your photos outside or near a window so that the lighting wraps the work rather than shining off it so harshly (I'm a photographer, sorry!)
I think one of the keys with etsy is to post stunning images of your work to draw the customer in, then they can be pulled further with a great description- what inspired you to make the piece, where the beads are from (if custom or rare beads), what type of outfit it would go with, etc.

good luck with your etsy career!

Very nice stuff you have and the proces seem resonable to me, I have to agree with the previous poster about the pictures, some of them were hard to see. Great work though!

i agree about the pictures i always use a white box basically white paper behind my jewelry it makes it really stand out heres a pic of some recent earrings and a few beads from the matching necklace so you can see how much of a difference the white makes



this is a link to my gallery for tons of pictures
