"Photographs for web pages are often put in thumbnail size, and must be eye-catching at that tiny size.

When photographing fused glass jewelry for websites, use a background that is interesting without being distracting.

Fill plastic containers with textural items, such as rice or beans.

Place your jewelry piece and a decorative item in the beans or rice, and photograph them using the macro setting and natural light.

A small table-top tripod comes in handy here.

Keep a selection of decorative items, such as silk flowers or seashells, that would enhance the color of the piece you are photographing.
