i use a combo of shea butter and aloe vera moisturizer. Works great. I use shea butter on my lips, around my eyes and nose (dry areas), My father swears by vasoline.
p.s. I dropped your name on Gina's post, Barb. ;)
Hi again. I have to laugh. My friend Gina Mcnew just wrote a blog post about the myriad of skincare and beauty products women use compared to men. And how it gets crazy as we get older. I laughed my butt off! I thought you ladies would enjothank you so much Lisa, that helps a lot. I know he tried to blame me for so much stuff, but like I told all of his family and mine none of that added up to a divorce. I do realize it's his needs, it just hurts so bad to think how many years he'sI used Noxzema from the time I was old enough to wash my own face, all through school and into adulthood. Then I decided it wasn't 'sophisticated' enough and went with higher priced, higher end products. About 5 years ago, I went back to 
I’ m not too sure other than I’ve had the same problem. Recently I found an interesting web site http://tiltshiftmaker.com/ that I marked as a fav for just this situation. It walks u thru easily turning the subject of your pic into a ‘miniture’. Sounds crazy to make the jewelry look smaller, right? But I thought it might be just the thing…. when u look at the web site, it’s just great! U’ve got to try it and let us (me) know! I haven’t had a chance to try it yet!
Good luck!
Thanks for your response. I will have to try it.
My husband and I owned a camera, etc store. You’ll need to play with lighting depending on the type of jewelry…so you dont get “flash” or bright spots bouncing off the light or pearl stones, May have to have it come from overhead or from an angle. And digital is great as you can sample the pics right away. The other thing is to show it on black fabric for silver, gold or lighter stones–not shiney fabric and white for other pieces. Again, you’ll need to play with the lighting.
Hi, I’ve been an online antique dealer for 20 years and use Ebay alot. I find the easiest way to get great photos is to simply go outside on a sunny day. Most cameras are better equipped for daylight photos and you dont have to mess around with lighting.
I usually use a black velvet cloth background to look “ritzy” but depending on what you are selling, I sometimes use colors, or even my favourite – leopard print throw. Put in whatever background makes you stand out and present who you really are. You want people to notice your photos online, out of many. Take front, back, sides of stones, closeups if you can, and any markings or manufacturers marks for authentication if any.
If you have any other problems, after reading all these great other ideas too, let me know.
Ciao,
