Diamond Digital

How do you take a picture of a diamond ring? 10pts.!!?

I am trying to take a picture of a multidiamond ring for ebay and the pictures on my digital cameral keep coming out blurred or too bright.

If your using a point and shoot, Im afraid its going to be very difficult to near impossible get a good product looking shot, especially if you dont have a hotshoe and one or two remote flashes. A good trick is to use white poster board for the background and bend it so that the same piece of paper serves as a backdrop and foreground upon which the ring will lying. If you have a tripod and you can do some longer exposures, build a small one of these http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/07/how-to-diy-10-macro-photo-studio.html
Then just two regular halogen desk lamps for light instead of flashes. It costs very little and takes maybe half an hour to make. Plus if you ever need it to photograph anything else it will be at your disposal.
