After looking at your Etsy store, I'd say that as a buyer I would recommend including a picture of the necklaces you are listing on a human or a bust. Even though you give the length, I've found myself more likely to buy necklaces/earrings/rings that are shown on a person or at least a mannequin because I get the actual perspective instead of just the measurement. (feedback is a great idea for a give-away, very constructive!)

Wow! You have some amazing necklaces! Love the colors of this one:
Bibakao and Carnelian Necklace
Have you thought of taking pictures with someone wearing them? I know the necklace is 36" long, but what does it look like on a real person? Just a thought.
I've added a picture and link to the sidebar of my give away blog!!

first of all before i give a suggestion..i would like to say that you have lovely items..:)
and after looking around your etsy store i would have to suggest specifically for you Luna Necklace in Opalite to probably be placed on a different background as it sort of blends into the white background that's placed behind it..i would suggest the same for your other products which are also light in color..as a shopper..bright colors or contrasting colors immediately catch my eye/interest and make me click on it for a second look..
and also..since others have already suggested showcasing your jewelry on mannequins..i will suggest that you could place your beaded products against another object so that customers can have a better idea on it's size because of a scale :)
hope my suggestions help :)

i checked out your Picasa Web Album and the designs i'd like to see more of would be of this :http://picasaweb.google.com/flaurena/FlaurenaComDonations#5387054699549749634
and this:

i checked out your picasa web album and i also would like to say that i would also like to see more of this design as well
http://picasaweb.google.com/flaurena/DONATIONPlaywrightsHorizons#5387048179219911810
it's sooo pretty..but i'm not sure if i would be brave enough to wear one of that size..perhaps on a smaller scale? :)
also..have you thought about placing the design above inside a cuff?i think it would look lovely :)
thanks for the chance for this giveaway! :D

I think that the way that you photograph the individual pieces is great, it really reals you in. The one that really stands out to me is the photo of Night Sky Necklace, having the natural background enhances the beauty of the piece.
Your work is so beautiful, especially the wire lace pieces. The shipping costs seem a little high to me, though. I was unsure if this was due to the packaging size or whether the costs covered registered/insured post. Perhaps you could clarify in your store policies section? Otherwise, you have a wonderful store.
The Metamorphis Wire Lace Necklace is my favorite so far - just totally exquisite and out of this world. I would love to see some more elaborate pieces like this. I would buy it in an instant, but expensive jewelry is just not in my budget right now, so I can understand why you might be reluctant to put in the time to create the more high end pieces.
Thank you for the giveaway :)

Nice jewelry.
Just one suggestion. My daughter sold sterling silver gemstone jewelry for a while at home parties. She displayed her pieces on black velvet... very flattering for light colored metals. Might be a helpful backdrop in some of your photos.
Love the flaurena™ Wire Lace Bouquet Pendant.
thanks.

What a delightful site this is. A pleasure to browse through. Keep on doin' what you're doin'!!!
I know you only have two wire lace items in your shop but I love both of them and would love to see more of such. Why not a wire lace line?
As far as your picasa album is concerned. i particularly like the jeanne and the flaurena necklaces.

Your work is wonderful and my suggestion is to try and make some pieces using powerful colors, even more bright, to spice up a little the atmosphere and give more personality to each item. Hope this helps you.

This piece is amazing!!! I'd love to see this in your etsy shop. It's so simple, yet so powerful.
I love the beads and wire necklace but could you also make a bracelet? In fact I would love to see more bracelets in other designs too. Well done by the way for all your beautiful jewellry.
I love the intricate beads and wire necklace. Could you make a bracelet as well? Being a bracelet fan I would love to see more of them anyway! Congratulations on your beautiful designs.
I liked reading about the process of making the metamorphasis necklace, it really is a piece of art! Thanks for the giveaway!

You have beautiful stuff! I am huge fan of the Ariane necklace. Would be cool if you could add pendants to that.
I love your Pay It Forward listing. I think this is a very innovative way to clear out some of the "extras" that we all accumulate.

Love your pieces. Offering more selections of array of colors would be nice. Also having your pieces hanging from something to give a better idea of how they look.

Your designs are very beautiful indeed. The Wire Lace Bouquet Pendant in gold is my favourite item from your shop. It's very delicate and fashionable. I think you can try using semi-precious gemstones like ruby, topaz and peridot etc. All girls love bling bling!

I love everything in your store, but everything is out of my price range. I think that your things are beautiful, but a little pricey.
i tweeted http://twitter.com/amo11314/status/4976915494
I love the wire lace necklace. One suggestion I have is to offer earrings that go with your necklaces. (You probably already thought of that!) I would prefer earrings that are not an exact match, but can stand on their own, while still complimenting the necklace. I am into cuffs right now and I can envision the wire lace style as a wide cuff. Thanks for the chance to win!
From your Web Album, I'd love to see more of the Lauren Chinese Mermaid pieces...beautiful! And I love red.

My only recommendation would be to add pictures of your jewelry modeled on a person. That helps me to see what it would look like on me/where it would sit on my neck, etc. You know?

I love your shop. I love the jewelry pictures on the white background - it looks neat and crisp. :)
Definitely would suggest what many others said... using human props. Helps us to visualize what it would look like on ourselves. :)

thanks for the opportunity!
While I love the items you sell, would I buy it? Maybe not, because I have a tight budget and can't spare much on jewelry right now. I do think that at this stage, it's important for you to build loyal customer base, gain more positive feedback and whatnot. You can do that by varying the prices of your jewelry (low prices to high ones), which would help you reach out to more customers. Make sure before you put any price on it, you try to see the piece on a buyer's perspective. Say you see it on a store, do you think it's reasonably worth the price? This would help you to gauge the reception and make jewelry that are not only classy and high quality but also sell well. Sorry for giving mostly business oriented feedback. It's in my blood :D

I adore your shop! Most of my ideas have already been covered: varying price points, using mannequins and props for necklaces, etc. My personal suggestion might be to add more items. When I see a shop with less than 20 items or so, I worry that the shop may not be very active (unless I can see in their sales that things are just flying out the door & that's the reason for the low stock).

I checked out your etsy shop, and I would recommend adding more of the Wire Lace necklaces. Instead of having the different designs all in one listing make different listings for a bunch of them (and indicate they are all custom made.) They are very unique, and I think doing that would highlight them more and let people see all the different options. There are lots of places you can get beaded necklaces, but your wire lace is much more unusual.

I agree about using a picture of a mannequin showing the necklace,keep the prices reasonable-alot of us can not afford to spend alot right now. I also like bracelets and earrings
tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com
I love the colors you use. I am especially a fan of the necklaces in the blue tones
You have some beautiful things! I'd like to see them either being worn or on a mannequin/bust so I could get an idea of size and where the pieces would fall.
Thanks for doing this giveaway,

I like your designs, but I'd also like to see earrings that could be paired with your necklaces. . .
I'm a fb fan :D
I saw your web album. . .I really think you could design some beautiful earrings!
took a look at your site. I think your wire pieces are gorgeous and worth the price in a boutique.... it's harder on etsy when you can find similar stuff for a cheaper price. Though I know you use better materials, it's a tougher sell.
And your beaded items again are great, but the price is a tad high for etsy.

checked out picasa and i'd love to see more of the intricate wire necklaces that you featured. Especially the latest piece that is clearly a statement necklace... and what I meant is a signature piece!
