Avoid "busy" backgrounds... That is a background that steal attention from bead.... Each bead need to be set up and photographed for its own merits...

Stark monochromatic back grounds are a turn off just as a background that has so much going on wher the eye has to struggle to pay attention to focal point of picture and that is the bead...

Stark Lines and pattern detract, soft flowing variations in back grounds enhance... Also watch color match... Some colors just do not go together...

Mainly bead has to say "HEY- here I am look at me"... IF background is over shouting bead whole purpose of picture is lost...

Real good tutorials are all around you ... Pick up any book or ad sheet and see how large professional places photograph jewelry ( and other items) for sale....
