I think it is the hardest part about being a purveyor of pearls - getting the photos right. We want every photo on the website to show the pearls accurately as to colour, shape and luster, while at the same time we want to maximise their appeal, to make them look as good as possible - consistent with that accuracy.
And at the same time to make the website look good we want a nice clean white background, so that it all looks seamless.
Try doing all that with white pearls. Finally we are getting there, but experimenting with different locations, lighting, a new camera and being tempted to stand on one's head to see if that helped, have all been intervals on the way, White pearls are still a bit tricky, but even those are getting there.
I have spent the last few days processing the latest photos and uploading them. Processing the photos does not involve much manipulation, just brightening the images to remedy the tendency of the camera to be daunted by too much white in the photo field. We don't over cook the images or spend hours and hours working with layers and layers in the photo. Often with darker pearls it is just a matter of a touch brighter and white fill the background.
Then the product specifications have to be written and uploaded - in english and in french as we are slowly translating the website into a second language.
So enjoy the new metallic lustered multicoloured pearls and the tahitian and south sea earrings and enhancers which have arrived and are soon to appear. We have made about 300 pairs of earrings in the last week too - the whole place still smells of glue!
Cheers
