I'd put a nice white cloth as a background, draped from the floor to the
ceiling (or high enough to stretch beyond the frame). Also, put a white
cloth on the floor. Use this for darker pieces. For lighter pieces I'd
use a darker cloth for contrast. Of course I'm not a real photographer so
I'm just drawing from common sense.
If I were you I'd invest in a good digital camera though. I use an
Olympus D-220L and its fab. The pictures it takes are excellent.
