    I am of the impression that Ott lights are also very expensive. 

    Buy Charles's book, Small Scale Photography.  His system, which I
    use, can be set up for $60.00, he says.  I'm sure mine cost even
    less.  This uses blue bulbs or tungstun bulbs.  We use blue bulbs. 

    Your other choice is www.webphotoschool.com (I hope I have that
    right) which someone recently posted (thanks!) and shows how to set
    up using Starlight kits from Photoflex.  These are not cheap.  That
    website shows two different ways to shoot jewelry, one using three
    lights, which would cost $1000.00 and one using one light which
    costs $300.00 or $400.00. 

    There's very little info. out there on cheap do it yourself jewelry
    photography.  Investigate these two sources and get ready to build
    your white box.
