aFirst I would do away with anything in background. Use plain white paper or very light pastel colors..... Nothing else in picture but beads!. Artistic composure of picture does not sell beads, Product display picture will sell beads.

Second I would use 2-3 lights to light beads with some diffusion screens or what ever in front of them to soften shadows... Ever notice on a cloudy day photos don't have any shadows.... You need to create same soft diffused light for beads as a cloudy day....

Once you have pure back ground, and soft light, you can expend energies on getting camera/beads into focus....
