?s on photograpy of jewelry

are there any fool proof tricks to taking good pics of jewelry? I will be
using my good digital camera for now, my 35 mm Pentax is broken until i can
afford to fix it...

I know to use diffused light and/or morning light, and i will most likely
lay the pieces on some good felt. should i make a tent of white around
them? what else?

I use 2 cheap clamp-on shop lights with daybright bulbs and foamcore pieces
for front and rear bounces.

Here are some good articles on bead/jewelry photography:

Hi Kellie:

This is a simple solution to your problem. It costs about $90.00.
I also made one and it was a hassle. I''m lazy.
The EZ cube works perfect.

you get?

Tink, won't your backers get that simple item for you? You should ask
'em.
