I make jewelry which I try to sell on Etsy. I was using a P&S but then I got a Nikon D3100. The pictures were coming out okay, once I adjusted White Balance with GIMP. Now however they are all coming out too dark even with that, and the colours are kind of weird.
Hoping for some advice on settings. I'm using a small white light box with grey background. I have a shop light on either side, which are fairly bright but sort of yellowy. Generally I set the piece on a greenish hued glass brick (but I'm not tied to that.)
Here is a link to my shop with some of my stuff. http://chezchani.etsy.com
Anyone have ideas on settings? I'd actually prefer to have the pictures come out light enough without GIMP but at this point I just want them one way of the other.
Thanks!!

First off what type of "shop light" are you using? Is a quartz lamp or florescent?
