Thank you so much George, Medusa and Dennis!
definitely the hardest thing Ive done and now Ive posted the photos on my website and FB I can see all my customers wanting 3mm hearts
Not sure if Ive done the right thing there LOL.

You were right about the lighting Dennis, it was just a matter of playing around with it and Im finally getting the hang of it and more able to translate what I see through the lens as to how it will come out.
I actually ended up with the items in the white cube thing, lights either side and above, one light poking through the front right to catch the stones and a silver reflector below that to get rid of its black reflection, then the camera poking through.
