Comments:

My picture isn't entirely accurate, and it represents some of the frustrations I face coming up with good pictures of my products.  The topaz portion of the beads looks too dark, and the turquoise portion of the beads looks too washed out.  Thus, the actual beads have slightly lighter topaz glass than the picture shows, and more richly colored turquoise glass than the picture shows.  Without a doubt, the beads look better in person than they look in the picture.

This kind of thing often happens when I photograph two-color beads:  If I adjust the picture to make one color look right, the other color looks wrong.
