Depends on the mood I'm in, the focal, the size of the beads, etc.
Usually with a large focal, I'll offer 4 or 6 smaller matching beads.
With smaller identical beads - then about 5-10 in a set depending on
size.

When I look at them I critique the hell out of them and talk myself out of listing them. And I am not exaggerating about the LOTS of sets. I have boxes.

beads are beautiful. Their beauty would really shine with a lighter background to provide better contrast.

Deb, I've seen worse pictures all over ebay and etsy, and they
don't even have beads half as nice as yours.
Your pics show enough color and detail to represent the beads clearly.
Now MOVE it, Soldier! Get those beads up. Don't make me come over there
and beat your puppy (I'll DO it!).....

I was bored, so I airbrushed black in to show you how your eyes are drawn to the beads and not the background with black...

I make as many as I've made when I finally got bored doing it.
I also don't do a lot of beads

Speaking as a buyer of sets for making jewelry I'd like to see different background colors. Listings usually allow multiple pictures, try a white, black and maybe a graduated greyscale background. That will give buyers an idea of how those gorgeous beads will look in different situations.
And good grief woman, list those sets and sell them!

The best black background stuff I have found is the craft foam sheets...that stuff rocks its not too shiny or too matte and you dont mess it up too bad most the time when photoing stuff...  Those really are lovely beads but Im thinking you talk yourself out of selling them because you want to keep them for yourself and have a big room thats like a ball pit of boro beads that you can just jump in and flail around and have fun in and enjoy looking at them all lol sounds like a good time to me!

Wow, if I was not so seriously short of money I see at least 4 sets that I would be more than happy to make into jewelry. Beautiful work!

agreed!
Usually when I sell sets they are just sets of 5. However when I make sets to create jewelry myself, they are sets of 7

Debbie,
You are your own worst enemy I have room to talk because I do the same. You'll never know how they will sell until you put them up there.
In fact, do you see the orangy yellow set in the first pic, bottom row? Just put those up and I'll be sure to bid!!!!
Go do it. Quit being a perfectionist cuz guess what? You'll never be perfect

Deb,
Here's my advice to you (as one professional bead hoarder to another).
Try this...
Make "sets" of ten random beads. No special order. No special colors.
Just pick ten beads you like.
Take a picture of them.
List them on Etsy as a "Random set".
That should get your feet wet and start you on your way.
You won't have to worry about all the details or anything else.
