Wire-Woven Coral Teardrop Pendant

When selling my pieces online, the photos are the most important thing to grab the buyer’s attention.

After investing in a photocube and good camera, I began to improve my photos exponentially.

The addition of the rock is for two reasons – one it is something to lean the pendants on rather than photographing them flat, and two – it gives some sort of size reference.

Most of my pictures have this same rock in them and so a large pendant overshadows the rock and a small one is lower than the top.

This gives my customers a handy reference point.

This one is a reasonably large fossil coral stone wrapped in copper.

Love how the simplicity does not overshadow the beautiful patterns in the rock.
