Natural color diamonds are unique as they exist in almost every imaginable color, size and price range. Colored diamonds will vary from the faintest shade of pastel pink, blue or yellow to the most deep or vivid shade of brown, green or orange. The value of natural color diamonds is based on the rarity, strength and variation of color within each diamond.

When it comes to wearing beads around your neck, there are rules for similar color and type just like for any fashion accessory. Just like you simply can’t wear white after Labor Day, there are certain colors and types of jewelry to stay away from for the fall!

The bright, spring and summer than it was. So while you may want to wear something more remote, like many of quartz or rock particles of different items, you instead want to tone it down just a bit.

Amber is perhaps the most fall-like colored bead material there is for jewelry. Not only does its rich, warm orange perfectly match the fall foliage, but it gives off an air of sophistication and mystery. Being a completely natural occurring material you can be sure that there were very little environmental consequences to wearing amber beads.

Darker and deeper colors for stone beads is also a better idea for the fall. While bright and rich turquoise beads are great for spring and summer necklaces and bracelets, they generate images of the sunny Southwest and so are less fitting when the temperature gets frigid and chilly.

Instead of turquoise, go with the darker blue of lapis lazuli. Lapis is the color of the bluest ocean you’ve ever seen. A dark, mysterious blue that is more attuned to the darkened skies of a Northeast autumn. You can find lapis lazuli beads in just about any size or shape, from round to faceted.

Likewise, the rich green of malachite, with its alternating light and dark layers is well-suited for the shorter days marking the end of the year. You can however, find malachite beads in solidly lighter or darker greens. If you run across these go for the darker greens for fall and save the lighter green, and light green jade, for the long hot days of summer.

If you are looking at gemstone beads, you want to again go for the darker looks. Dark red ruby beads will cost more, as well a dark green emerald and dark blue sapphire, but their luster and depth will stun those around you at cocktail parties and autumn events.

If you choose to intermix gold or silver with any of the precious or semi-precious stone beads for your fall look, go for the darker, tarnished beads instead of the highly polished and bright beads. The shiny gold and silver will detract from the dark richness of the stone beads, which should be the focal point of your necklace, earrings or bracelet.

Beaded jewelry, from necklaces to bracelets, is an important accessory to complement any wardrobe. Whether you make them yourself or buy them off the shelf, it’s important to get the right look.

By using these great, simple techniques for showcasing your beaded jewelry to an online audience, you can create an eye- catching and alluring virtual storefront that is sure to capture the attention of online shoppers.

Writing about your beads. When writing the description of your product you will want to be specific, yet concise. Online shoppers become bogged down and weary of auctions and descriptions that are too wordy. After all, the photos of your beaded jewelry is what will really sell them. Keep these handy tips in mind when writing about your beaded wares:

Creating headlines and titles. Generally, the shorter your headline the better it will be to grab the attention of potential buyers. For example, Sizzling Swarovski Cuff is a better title than Crystal Blue Swarovski Cuff That Will Melt Your Heart and Make You Sing. Also, experiment with words that pop and don’t be afraid to get creative. After all, it is your creativity that led you to beading in the first place! Try headlines with allure, such as Blue Lagoon Beaded Bracelet, or Mint Julep Gem Stone Choker. This will assign your product an appealing air of exoticism, and tempt shoppers to browse your site.

Describing your beaded jewelry. Maintain a conversational tone throughout your description that shoppers will identify with; avoid both slang and overly-professional jargon. Write as if your audience doesn’t know anything about beads or beaded jewelry. Include information such as the size, length, and dimensions, as well as the materials, beads, or gem stones you used to create it. A reader will want to know if it’s Swarovski, TOHO, acrylic, plastic, or glass beads that you are using. The more descriptive you are about the history of your jewelry, the more you will lessen any doubt or questions a buyer may have.
You can provide a detailed description while still remaining concise by breaking up your text into bullet points and lists that are easier to read than a large block of text. Use caps or boldface to highlight important information.

Being clear about your policies and guidelines. Shoppers must know that they are purchasing their beaded jewelry from an actual person, and not a factory or conveyor belt with automatic shipping systems. If you present your jewelry accurately, you can protect yourself from buyer fraud, complaints, and unhappy customers. Have all your bases covered regarding your policies on payment, shipping, returns and exchanges to ensure that the transaction goes smoothly.

Editing. Buyers are much less likely to bid on or purchase items with a description that contains spelling or grammatical errors. Sloppily composed descriptions errant with mistakes will only draw negative attention. An outside opinion can be very helpful, so ask a friend or family member to review it once you are done.

Photographing your work. A picture is worth a thousand words, and the purchasing appeal of your beaded jewelry is made, or broken, with the photos you present. The initial photo of your gem stone jewelry is displayed amongst many others in the same category, so it is important for yours to stand out amongst your competitors. Experiment with a magnified view, eagle eye photo, or various angles that are eye-catching and unique. If you can, use a macro lens to create a sharp and interesting image. Good lighting is equally as important, as well as using a backdrop that will not take away from the appeal of the item. Use smooth, cool colors to create a contrast against your beaded jewelry. Set aside time to play around with your photos on computer programs such as Photoshop or Picasa, and make your photos transform from fuzzy to fit.
