Im having a hard time figuring out whether the metal is silver colored or gold colored.

I looked and looked and looked for this set at Calumet Photo, which used to be the main distributor of these, 20 some odd-years ago.

These small devices are based on what studio small-product pros have been making for decades out of Polaroid film boxes, tape, and putty, as well as card-stock and desk-style free-standing picture frames, spray-painted pop and beer cans, and foil cards and boards of all types of material.

This is the type of light modifier you need to give better shading,shape,and highlighting to metal surfaces, fast.

Oh! Thanks for that link. I just bought some cards I can bend and manipulate like them.

This was the first time I shot on black, and on glass.
It's really the first time, I think, that I got the diamonds to really look alive.
I don't mind the dark reflection here, and think it really set off that top ring of stones and the center stone. The customer delayed pick up, so I have time for a reshoot, and I'll see what I can do with more reflectors.

Thats a pretty snazzy setting. By your username Im guessing you cast, finish, set?
