Photography is just a hobby. The following is just the recent experience of taking jewelry photos, I hope it will help you.
1 equipment
Camera macro is necessary, and it is better to have manual function. The function of adjusting exposure mode and white balance is very important for some materials (I use Konica Z3, and the color is yellow. The imaging is average, but the macro is good)
Personally, I think tripod is a must (Weifeng brand is recommended by friends, good quality and low price).
Three Lamps District is the best, with at least 1 and power of 35W. I used 26W x 2 13W x 1 (it must be L electroluminescence, otherwise it will fade).
Other auxiliary equipment background props (personally don't think it's too complicated. Otherwise, it's a presumptuous guest usurps the host's role. ) White paper with various background paper mirrors (used for partial fill light)
The above is what I often use and buy according to my specific needs.

Composition Composition is very important for photography, because we take commercial photos, which are for people to see, so the first important thing is to highlight the subject.
Show the most touching side of this product to everyone. I usually use triangle composition (put the subject in the center of the picture, the subject is prominent, and the performance is steady)
Lighting cloth is also very learned. Anyway, amateurs speak amateurs. Light I cloth is generally quite strong, and the basic camera has almost seen red when measuring light. There are other commodities.
When listing jadeite, pearl, ruby and sapphire, white paper will be used to block the light, which has a soft light effect. If your camera flashes, use the continuous shooting function like me.
In this way, one of the three links is always what you need. Focus must be accurate.
The actual shooting layout is slightly different, but it is roughly like this ~ ~ ~
3 Post-processing articles
The tool I use is photoshop cs.
Based on the fact that the photos are real, my usual functional steps are as follows.
1 grayscale image > adjustment > grayscale (curve is its advanced version and brightness and contrast are its simplified version)
2 Sharpen Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen (many people like dispensable effects)
3 Tool toolbar for preventing imprint (local cleaning)
4 color temperature adjustment image > adjustment > photo filter (this function is only available in CS version, which is quite practical. If you use other versions of ps, you can adjust hue &；; Saturation)
This is a silly and practical function. You can try more.

Here are some samples I made according to the above steps.
