Question Bead Photography

I have seen photos of beads where they are sitting on some sort of semi-reflective surface. Does anyone know what surface they are using for these photos? It is not as reflective as a mirror or glass...more of a frosted material.

I use a frosted silver panel. It's usually out of stock but if you send them an email, they will contact you when it's back in.

You could probably buy a piece of frosted silver paper for $.59 at Michaels.

A piece of aluminum sheeting from Lowes or Home Depot works great too.
