Hey Beegrl88. The funny things is I really like the idea of you using your pink balloon!! Very cute! I definitely want your shop to have your own look and own brand so my suggestions are based off of what you are already working with.
Try these ideas:
Take your pink balloon and put a happy face on it! If you can't draw find someone who can!
The thing with the earrings hanging on the glass is that glass has to shot very strategically. Try changing your background for your earrings and pendants. Usually a pretty great, tan, or sand colored paper will do or even something in the green family. Colored backgrounds also help you get into treasuries as well. Contrast is the key.
This is one of your best listings:

But just change the background. The thing with a white background is that the camera's meter reads it as being very light, so what will happen when you take the photo is the camera will take it upon itself to underexpose the image, making you work harder in the photo editing process.
Since it's spring color up your shop a little. Try different background colors to see what compliments your earrings and pendants! Just let me know if you have anymore questions. |

Thanks for the great tips! Will do! I'm still waffling on the av because I've received sooo much positive feedback about it. But if I do, yes, jewelry is perfect. :)
Thanks! |

For sure! Have 2 or 3 Av in place and try out a few to see what draws more people to your shop for potential sales! If your current one works for you keep it!
