Thanks for the link, Bruce! Really informative stuff, there.
And, yes -- that guy must have a pretty robust budget.

Hi all,
I have a friend who makes some really nice turquoise jewelry
(http://www.sisdesigns.com/) and she's asked me if I'd like to take a
shot at doing some photographs of her work for catalogs and design
conference submissions. We've already worked on some rudimentary
lighting and staging for the pieces, and are going to do some
experimenting today. Before I jump in, I figured I'd ask if any of
you might have any pointers.
Of course, I'll be shooting in RAW, and have decided to bracket the
shots. Beyond that, I wonder if it would be best to use my M-50/2,
or my 18-55mm kit lens, or something longer?
Thanks for any advice anyone can offer!

The tutorials at Akel Studio are a very good look at the lighting
issues including reflections, preserving gloss, etc. ...

Ignore that he's obviously above your (or my!) budget for gear; the
principles are the same if you go DIY.
