Make a booth roughly 2'x2', a box shape would do . Set up the camera on a tripod . Use an external flash and aim away from the jewelry, preferably at the box top . Shoot at aperture priority, ISO 100, F8 to get sharp images . Set AF to "Single Point" and metering mode to "Matrix" . Shoot RAW. Use the Nikon View NX supplied software to review the shots. Try various "White Balance" options to get the background perfectly white. If you can, use DIGICAM Control to shoot tethered to computer, then you can see the effect of various settings. [/QUOTE]
