Thanks George. This was entirely from the big thermonuclear ball in the sky.
Diffuse certainly, eBay standard at least. Now to improve my technique.

nice start.
now try bringing one small, slightly diffused actual light source

to achieve
at least one spectral highlight
and more form (contrast to the shape) of the beads

Fond regards,
George
