When I recommended an additional, slightly diffused light source;
I meant a small light with a reflector with very slight diffuser over  
it.
In my case I'd pull out the Quantum with reflector and light diffuser
and put it inside the tent pointed directly at the set
and dial the power down to a point where it works
in harmony with the diffused, tented sunlight
and would add a spectral highlight to each bead
as well as help define their 3 dimensional shapes

well placed black or gray gobos will give you control
over the now white silver also adding dimension to their shapes

Fond regards,
George
