What would you think about black seamless paper, a softbox from above and slightly behind for even, shadow-free lighting and pointing a really fine spot into the diamond to add sparkle? I have an image in my mind and wonder if it would even be doable. Not that it really matters because I don't have the equipment, nor the need/care to do such a photograph..... Christian
