Working on bead photography

Here is a shot that I recently did for my mom who is into working on beads. I need to get a more powerful light source as the one I am currently using requires me to have a large aperture, which reduced my depth of field, which causes parts of the image to be slightly out of focus (the right bead on this one). I took two shots to make this image, one with the light source to the north, and one to the west, over layed them in photoshop, and erased the glare so to get rid of those annoying spots. Though parts of it are slightly out of focus, I think it turned out rather nicely.
