I absolutely LOVE moonstones. They glow and make me happy in my insides. But they are impossible for me to photograph. I am by no means a professional photographer, I don't have a schmancy camera, and I don't use those cute artistic background "professionals" use (You know, like a pearl necklace draped across a rose and an antique book or whatever cute quaintness they can find). I just can't seem to capture their actual color. Maybe someone out there has some tips?
Here is a necklace I made a few days ago that contains moonstones and a pretty, kinda shiny opaque white glass bead I found at Michael's. I used some base metal chain and black coated 24 gauge wire to attach the beads. I took a bunch of pictures with a black and a white background. These are the ones I think came out best. Let me know what think!

I do like the reddish glow that hits the wall behind the moonstones, especially in the last picture....ah moonstones are so...mooney :)
Tips and tricks to jewelry photography much appreciated. Thanks for reading!
