    I recently found a nice jewelry photo trick- Wax paper makes a
    wonderful sunlight diffuser while keeping the rich warm tone. I had
    to shoot some white gold solder for a product shot. Not the easiest
    thing to spice up in a picture. High noon was perfect light. I went
    on the shoot some white wire and sheet. For "spice" I used an eight
    pointed star filter. 

    The macro feature on my Canon D30 lens worked well. I have also
    found "close up" filters to be helpful. They are inexpensive and
    come so that you stack them on the lens for up to 7x magnification. 
    This works well enough to diagnose casting issues better. The only
    downside is a shallow depth of field.
